Police interviewed Adams four days later, and he claimed that he and Cereceres had been drinking and live-streaming themselves on an app called ‘LiveMe’ that night when the shooting occurred.
In court documents, Adams said he picked up a pistol that was on the counter and the gun accidentally went off, shooting Cereceres in the head.
After investigators recovered a copy of the live broadcast, they found that Adams had again withheld some details about the shooting.
He was then seen slide a round into the firing chamber, place the gun to the side of Cereceres’ head and pull the trigger.
Police interviewed Adams again a few days later, where he admitted he changed his clothes and returned to alter the crime scene. He threw a bullet found on the ground into a field.
If convicted of first-degree manslaughter, Adams faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years.
