Elizabeth Michelle Adams, 31, was shot and killed at an intersection in Polo, Missouri, on the morning of January 27, 2021. She was taken to a nearby hospital after the shooting but died of a gunshot wound, leaving family and the community mourning.

Witnesses reported seeing a man with a gun flee into nearby woods, prompting a multi-agency response from the Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office and the Missouri State Highway Patrol. A 35-year-old man from Lawson was later taken into custody east of Polo and is being held at the Caldwell County Detention Center. He was charged with first-degree murder in connection with Adams’s death.

Authorities have not publicly released a motive or said whether there was any relationship between Adams and the charged man. Did anyone in the Polo area know Elizabeth or see activity near that intersection on January 27, 2021?
