TAMPA, Fla. — Billy Bennett Adams III, a hip-hop artist who performs as Ace NH and who was acquitted last month on two counts of murder, has been newly arrested on two murder charges in connection to the Jan. 27 death of a pregnant Tampa woman.
Adams, 25, killed Alana Sims, 22, on Jan. 30 and left her beside her parked SUV in a New Tampa subdivision called Easton Park, the Tampa Police Department said Wednesday. Her toddler son was found unharmed, sleeping in a car seat in the back seat, but Sims died. Adams is being charged with two counts, one for Sims and one for her unborn child, police said.
Police have not released Sims’ name because of Marsy’s Law but her family has publicly confirmed that she is the victim in the case.
