Dayvontae Lamont Adams, 25, was charged Wednesday with murder and two counts of attempted murder in connection to a drive-by shooting on May 3 on Pinckney Street around 8:18 p.m., according to a news release.
Investigators allege Adams, while firing from a 2014 Ford Focus, shot and killed 16-year-old Avery West, according to an arrest warrant. West was pronounced dead at the scene.
Attempted murder charges against Adams stem from at least one other person — an unidentified 17-year-old — being injured after shot in the back, according to a warrant.
