She later says she's been shot in the back and neck. And a car pulled up beside me. They were on their way to Adams' home. Prosecutors say Adams' killers ambushed her. They say Carruth was driving his Ford Expedition in front of Adams in south Charlotte and stopped, blocking her.
Prosecutors say a gunman inside fired five shots, hitting Adams four times.
Prosecutors say Carruth paid Watkins to beat up Adams and destroy her baby. Later, Carruth decided he wanted her killed to avoid paying child support, prosecutors say. Doctors saved her baby, Chancellor, with an emergency Caesarean. The defense lawyers say Watkins shot Adams in a rage after she made an obscene gesture at him - not because Carruth paid him to shoot Adams. In the 911 call, Adams tells the dispatcher she pulled her car into a yard and was blowing her horn to attract attention.
