In the early morning hours of Saturday, September 26, 2015, a tragic event unfolded in northeast Oklahoma City that would leave a family heartbroken and a community searching for answers. A man, identified as 33-year-old Ray Adams, was discovered near Northeast 13th Street and Grand Boulevard, the victim of a brutal shooting. Responding to a call of shots fired just after 1:00 a.m., police found Adams with multiple gunshot wounds.
He was rushed to a nearby hospital, but tragically, he succumbed to his injuries.
The investigation into the death of Ray Adams, a male, revealed the cold-blooded nature of the crime. He had been shot a total of seven times, with three of those shots being to the head. Despite the severity of the attack, the motive behind the shooting and the identity of the perpetrator or perpetrators remain a mystery. In the years that have followed, investigators have pursued every lead that has come in, but unfortunately, none have provided the breakthrough needed to make an arrest in the case.
The case of Ray Adams's murder is now considered a cold case, a painful reality for his grieving mother, Tina Adams, and the rest of his family. She remembers her son as a jokester who was witty and well-liked by everyone he met. His unsolved murder has left a void in their lives, and they continue to hold out hope that someone will come forward with information that could bring his killer to justice. Law enforcement officials also believe that someone in the community holds the key to solving this crime and have urged anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers, where they can remain anonymous. A reward is being offered for tips that lead to an arrest, a beacon of hope in a case that has remained unsolved for far too long.
