The coroner’s report describes gunshot wounds to his left upper back, his right shoulder and left thigh.

Adams also sustained multiple abrasions with red marks between 1/8th of an inch to a 1/4th of an inch found on the left side of his head, his neck, his mid-back and left knee.

His autopsy was conducted on Dec. 6.

At his memorial service, his wife described him as a jovial person whose greatest strength was making people feel comfortable and loved.
