Read comments (4)Jaderricko Adams, 18, was struck by gunfire at about 10:30 p.m., said Ripley Police officers, at the Ripley Meadows apartment complex on Gay Street. Adams was found unresponsive with a gunshot wound to the head.
Adams was pronounced dead on arrival at Baptist Memorial Hospital-Lauderdale in Ripley.
A person of interest has been taken into custody, said a news release from District Attorney General D. Michael Dunavant on Tuesday.
No charges have been filed, he said, and the investigation is ongoing.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is assisting the Ripley department in the case.
Adams has several family members in Dyersburg.
It doesn't matter why the comment was made. The fact is that with communities and counties this close together, people need to be made aware of what is going on. Who knows when a retaliation could occur or something could trickle into this county and vice versa. I just really wonder when young african american teens and young adults will realize that they are destroying their communities and own families with this ignorance. Young aftican american children live in fear of violence and death and the white children can't get ahead due to cocaine and meth in their communities. The world is truly in a mess!
Jawanna yes I agree that would be my guess also.
I think the paper is just saying that Mr. Adams has family in Dyersburg because this is a Dyersburg newspaper. Not sure, but that's what I'm getting from that statement.
What does Adams having several family members in Dyersburg have to do with it. Are yall trying to say that Ripley and Dyersburg family members are somewhat related to this story.
