In the early morning hours of December 9, 2024, a discovery was made in the 5000 block of Westminster Avenue in West Philadelphia. Lamart Adams, a 56-year-old male, was found inside his white 2021 Acura RDX, the victim of a fatal shooting. Philadelphia Police officers responded to the scene at approximately 4:22 a.m. and found Mr. Adams with a gunshot wound to the head.
Emergency medical personnel arrived at the location, but despite their efforts, Lamart Adams was pronounced dead at the
scene. The initial investigation pointed to a homicide, and the case was taken over by the Philadelphia Police Department's Homicide Unit. The circumstances leading up to the shooting remain unclear, and at the time of the initial reports, no weapon had been recovered.
As of late 2025, the investigation into the death of Lamart Adams is ongoing, and his case is listed among the city's unsolved murders.
