South Los Angeles Man Shot and Killed Los Angeles: Los Angeles Police detectives are asking for the public’s help to identify the person responsible for the shooting death of 54-year-old Edward Joe Adams. On June 20, 2008 at about 7:00 p.m., Adams, a resident of South Los Angeles, was walking near 65th Street and Western Avenue when he was approached by the suspect. The suspect pulled out a 9 millimeter handgun and shot Adams in the chest.
