Tyrael Adams, 28, an African-American male, was shot to death just after midnight on March 15, 2015, outside the Lex at Lowry apartment complex in Denver. Police were called around 12:40 a.m. to the area near South Monaco Parkway and the 6700 block of East Cedar Avenue, where they found Adams and 30-year-old Deanthony Clyde Williams suffering from gunshot wounds. Adams died at the scene; Williams was transported to Denver Health and later pronounced dead.
Early statements from authorities described the attack as part of a violent overnight stretch in the city.
Reporters and city officials soon characterized the double homicide as gang-related violence that unfolded outside a party at the complex. Coverage at the time placed the scene at the Lex at Lowry, 240 South Monaco, and noted that the killings were among several shootings in roughly a 24-hour span that drew a forceful response from Denver leaders and law enforcement.
In the immediate aftermath, police said they had no suspect information and no one in custody, and local outlets reiterated that no arrests had been made. Subsequent summaries and memorial listings have continued to reference the case without announcing any arrests or charges connected to Adams’s killing. Anyone with information was urged to contact Metro Denver Crime Stoppers.
