P. v. Adams CA2/1
In 2015, a jury convicted Adams of one count of second degree murder (§§ 187, subd. (a), 189), and found true an allegation that he committed the offense for the benefit of, at the direction of, or in association with a criminal street gang. (§ 186.22, subd. (b)(4).) The jury found not true an allegation that a principal intentionally discharged a firearm, proximately causing death. (§ 12022.53, subds. (d) & (e)(1).)
The following account of the facts of the case is derived from our opinion in Adams’s direct appeal. (People v. Adams et al. (Aug. 8, 2017, B269551) [nonpub. opn.].) Adams and his codefendant, Nicholas Hempstead, were both members of Trey-57, a street gang affiliated with the Crips. The victim, Deon Davis, was a member of the PDL gang, which was affiliated with the Bloods and an enemy of Trey-57. Lisa Caesar, an associate of the Trey-57s, told Adams and his friends that Davis had forced Caesar’s niece to take crystal meth and work as a street prostitute.
