The shooting in question took place on December 10th, 2020. Police said that they responded to 900 block of Peeples Street after a call was made that a person fired on the block, leaving Adams on the street with a gunshot wound to his head. Police said Adams was rushed to the Grady Hospital where he died.

Police said another shooting occurred moments later with a second victim, Kevin Wright, 32, who appeared to have suffered gunshot wounds. He arrived in a private vehicle at a local fire station, though he is said to have survived his injuries.

Authorities said they’ve done a rigorous investigation into the matter and believe that the death of Adams and the shooting of Wright could be connected. Along with Lucci, police also arrested 23-year-old Ra’von Boyd and 17-year-old LeRoy Pitts. Lucci was charged with felony murder, aggravated assault, participating in criminal street gang activity, and possession of a firearm during a felony. 

Jasmina Alston of CBS 46 reports that police are currently searching for Lucci.
