USA - Florida. Billy Adams sentenced to death
September 2, 2026 - Florida. A Tampa jury recommended the death penalty for rapper Billy Adams over the January 2023 killing of his pregnant girlfriend’s unborn child. Jurors also recommended life without parole for Adams’ murder conviction in the death of Alana Sims, 22.
The recommendations followed Tuesday’s guilty verdicts on both counts.
The state cited the age of Sims’ unborn child as an aggravating factor. Prosecutors described the fetus as a child younger than 12 under the applicable law.
Jurors voted 8-4 to recommend death for the killing of Sims’ unborn child.
Prosecutors alleged Adams shot Sims in the back of the head from about 3 feet away. The shooting occurred in an unfinished area of Tampa’s Easton Park neighborhood.
A later determination established that Adams was not the biological father of the unborn child, prosecutors said.
A Spencer hearing is scheduled for Dec. 1.
The judge will determine whether to accept the jury’s recommendations and formally sentence Adams.
