Florida Gay Couple Kevin Powell, Stephen Adams Found Murdered
A South Florida gay couple was found dead in their home by police over
the weekend, victims of a double homicide, gay weekly South Florida Gay Newsreported.
Police found the bodies of Kevin Mark Powell, 47, and Stephen Duane
Adams, 52, in their Wilton Manors home on Sunday. Police entered the
home at the request of Adams' sister who grew concerned when her
brother was a no-show at a family gathering.
Powell had not fully recovered from a double-organ transplant to
cure his diabetes six months ago.
The couple met at a Cleveland gay pride parade 29 years earlier.
“They fell in love, and they've been together ever since,” Powell's
brother, Shannon Kicklighter, told the Miami Herald.
Wilton Manors police announced on Tuesday that they had identified a
person of interest in the homicides, but provided no details. Police say
they are searching for the couple's black 2003 Saturn Vue.
Adams, a registered nurse, and Powell, an interior decorator, moved
to Wilton Manors – which includes a large gay population – earlier this
year. They had previously lived in Hollywood, Florida.
