An 18-year-old already charged in a May shooting in Atmore now faces charges for two shooting deaths that occurred late last year.
Dexter Adams, 18, has been charged with two counts of murder in the shooting deaths of 25-year-old Juwan McNeal and 27-year-old Joe Jones, Jr. The victims were fatally shot while sitting in a vehicle on Ashley Street around 8:15 p.m. on December 8, 2024. Atmore Police said additional arrests are possible.
Adams is also one of the suspects charged in a May 7 shooting at an intersection, during which a vehicle and a nearby restaurant were hit by gunfire. He was charged with attempted murder, discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle, shooting into an unoccupied building, attempting to elude, and receiving stolen property in the second degree. He wa taken into a custody after a brief foot chase.

Atmore, if you cannot obtain an antivirus, just keep treating the symptoms.
I am preemptive in my perspectives.
I’m not religious, so these thoughts aren’t coming from there. Having said that, I don’t believe people are born evil. They become that way over time and in this guy’s brief life he has clearly developed a pathology shown by his obvious anger and disregard for human life. How does that happen? Is anyone but the individual responsible? Parents? Just wondering out loud.
I’m with yall! Some public hangings/executions swiftly executed would slow some of these useless, waste of good oxygen, good for nothing, demons down. . Of course the days of common sense have been LEFT far behind us. God help us all. PLEASE
From that belligerent look on his face – he’s gonna play the “tough guy” to the very last. I doubt he fully realizes his life is over. Literally. Multiple murders will earn him the death penalty. At least he won’t have to travel far. They do the executions right there in Holman Prison. Say Good Night Gracie.
