Andre Adams

Age 18

Saint Louis, Missouri

Beautiful man, ordinary plans. Both lost.

The photos on his GoFundMe page show a beautiful young man. His plans were ordinary: After graduation, he’d find a job. He wanted to provide for his mother, three brothers, sister and daughter.

“[He] had a big heart and would give anything he could to help anyone,” his aunt said. He spent most of his time helping his mother. In his free time, he enjoyed boxing and rapping.

At 2:45 p.m. on June 11, 2018, Andre Adams, 18, was found with multiple gunshot wounds in the Ville neighborhood in St. Louis, Missouri. He died there.
