Nicole E. Adams, a 21-year-old resident of Albuquerque, New Mexico, passed away on November 29, 2014. Born on February 19, 1993, in Shiprock, New Mexico, she was an honor graduate from Shiprock Northwest High School in 2010.

A devoted single mother, Nicole was deeply committed to her four-year-old son, Quamare N. White, and was cherished by many for her warm and friendly nature.
The circumstances surrounding Nicole's death involved a gunshot wound to the head.
