An unknown assailant shot Gregg Adamec as he was walking on 5000 Voltaire Street at about 9:15 p.m.

A witness in the area heard a gunshot, immediately looked across the street and saw Adamec lying on the sidewalk. The suspect, a white male with dark hair and wearing dark clothing, was still standing over Adamecs body. The suspect jumped onto a bicycle and rode off eastbound on Voltaire Street and then southbound on Bacon Street. Adamec had been shot one time in the face at close range.

Adamec had been the victim of a burglary and arson two months before, which could possibly be related to this case. No motive for the murder has been established.
