Rashad Adair Homicide
December 07, 2012
At appx 11:11pm Des Moines Police Dispatch received a call of shots fired in the area of 14th St. and Washington Ave in Des Moines. As officers were responding the DMPD then received a call from Broadlawns Hospital indicating the victim of a shooting has just come into their ER. The victim, Rashad Adair, a 31yr old male, was then transported to Methodist hospital where he underwent surgery for at least 6 gunshot wounds to his nose and both the upper and lower torsos. Mr. Adair later died from his wounds.
Two witnesses were taken to the Des Moines Police Station for interview and have been released. At this point in the investigation it appears that the victim was sitting in a vehicle behind 1410 Washington when an unknown gunman approached and fired several shots into the vehicle before fleeing on foot. The scene was later located, secured and processed by DMPD Crime Scene Investigators. The vehicle in which the victim was shot was also impounded by the DMPD for further evidence collection.
At this point there is very little information on a suspect other than an adult black male wearing a black hoodie and a black ski mask. Motive for the shooting is unknown. Des Moines Police Detectives are continuing with their investigation. Anyone with information on this shooting is asked to call the Des Moines Police Department or Polk County Crime Stoppers.
