Ronald Adams was in a southwest Atlanta apartment with family on September 1, 2023, when he fatally shot his cousin, Antiwan Williams, after being warned about his drug use. Adams was arrested and charged with murder but later entered a negotiated Alford plea to reduced charges, resulting in a 20-year prison sentence and five years probation. During the plea hearing, his attorney described the incident as a family tragedy, and family members expressed their grief and remorse for the loss.
