Does Phillip Adams have a criminal record?

Adams has had earlier run-ins with authorities prior to the Rock Hill shooting.

He was charged with simple assault and battery in 2009 and was acquitted of the charge in a bench trial, according to South Carolina court records.

He was also convicted of several York County traffic charges, including driving under suspension and failure to maintain proof of insurance.

What did Phillip Adams do?

Adams killed himself on Thursday, April 8 with a .45 caliber weapon after murdering prominent South Carolina Doctor Lesslie, his wife Barbara, their two grandkids and a house worker.

York County Sheriff spokesman Trent Faris said the suspect “lives on the same road” and according to a tweet, he was found “in a nearby house.”

During the early hours of April 8, Faris said that deputies were called around 4:45 pm on April 7 to the Lesslies’ home, and spent hours searching for the suspect before finding him in a nearby home.

The York County coroner’s office said Lesslie, 70, and his wife, Barbara Lesslie, 69, were pronounced dead at the scene along with grandchildren Adah Lesslie, 9, and Noah Lesslie, 5.

A man who had been working at the home, James Lewis, 38, from Gaston, was found shot to death outside, and a sixth person was hospitalized with “serious gunshot wounds,” York County Sheriff’s Office’s spokesperson Trent Faris said.

York County Sheriff Kevin Tolson revealed that Adams' used two guns to shoot dead Dr. Robert Lesslie, his wife, two of their grandchildren and a maintenance worker.

Doctor Lesslie was well known in the Rock Hill, South Carolina area for emergency medicine and ER work.

Adams, played in 78 NFL games over five seasons for six teams. A safety and special teams player from South Carolina State, he joined the 49ers in 2010 as a seventh-round draft pick.

Adams' father confirmed his son took his life inside the home.

On December 14, 2021, it was announced that Adams suffered from stage two CTE that was "unusually" severe in both frontal lobes.

"He was getting increasingly paranoid, he was having increasing difficulty with his memories and he was very likely having more and more compulsive behaviors," Dr Ann McKee said, adding that Adams' CTE was similar to that of Aaron Hernandez's who was a former tight end convicted for the murder of Odin Lloyd.

"He lived largely by himself, it may not have been recognized, but I doubt this was entirely out of the blue," McKee continued.

Adams also complained of excruciating pain and had difficulty sleeping, according to the coroner.

What was written on Dr Robert Lesslie's Facebook page?

A note was published on Dr Robert Lesslie's Facebook page following the news of his death, providing "words that he recently wrote" before he "passed into glory." 

"One day, when I depart this body and find myself in the presence of the Lord, my time, however it will be measured, will be filled with the praises and wonder of Jesus," the note reads.

"I know that I will once again be able to hug my mother and walk and talk with my father. There are a lot of people I want to see as well – family and friends, grandparents, some of whom I never met on this side."

Lesslie was a prominent figure in Rock Hill, according to Faris.

“I’ve lived in Rock Hill my entire life and Dr. Lesslie was my doctor growing up,” he said.

“Dr. Lesslie has been one of those people that everybody knows.

"He started Riverview Medical Center in Rock Hill and it’s been a staple in Rock Hill for years.”

He had been practicing medicine in Rock Hill since 1981. Rock Hill is a city located about 25 miles southwest of Charlotte, North Carolina.

Leslie and his wife of 35 years raised four children.
