FLORIDA RAPPER BILLY ADAMS KILLS PREGNANT GIRLFRIEND DAYS AFTER FOUND NOT GUILTY FOR DOUBLE HOMICIDE

TAMPA — Billy Adams III, the hip-hop artist accused of a fatal shooting for the second time after an earlier acquittal, will remain jailed until he can face trial on charges that he killed Alana Sims and caused the death of her unborn child.

In a court hearing Monday, attorneys for Adams chose not to challenge a request from prosecutors to have Adams detained until trial. Hillsborough County Judge Margaret Taylor granted the state’s request, finding that Adams poses a threat of harm to the community based on his new charges.
