The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office has arrested a 23-year-old man and charged him with the double murder that took place last Thursday night. The murders took place at a shed in North Tampa that had been converted into a music studio. Police believe the shooting was linked to a gang-related feud.
According to investiga- tors, deputies responded to a 9-1-1 call in reference to a shooting. They were directed to a shed behind a home in the 15000 block of N. 23rd Street.
When they arrived at the scene, they learned that the shooting had taken place in a shed that had been converted into a music studio.
According to witnesses, several individuals were in- side the shed when the shoot- ing took place. Two men who were struck by gunfire died at

the scene as a result of their injuries.
Detectives learned that on the night of the shooting, in- formation gathered identified Billy Bennett Adams, III, as the gunman. Adams, who is a well-known local rapper, goes by the name of Ace NH.
Witnesses told police that Adams arrived at the studio that evening with both vic- tims, who wee also known to him.
After recording his music, Adams is accused of shoot- ing both victims before flee- ing the scene. Adams was located Saturday and taken into custody. He was charged with two counts of first-de- gree murder and armed bur- glary of a structure.
Police said Adams and one of the victims identified themselves on social media as members of the “Crips” gang.
Sheriff Chad Chronis- ter said, “This was a violent execution this suspect per- formed, and although the at- tack was clearly targeted, we will not allow gang-related disputes to disrupt the com- fort and safety of innocent residents in any of our com- munities.
“It is clear that the suspect had no regard for human life and now he will face the con- sequences for his actions.”
