Billy Adams, also known as Ace NH, shot his 22-year-old girlfriend, Alana Sims, in the back of the head in January 2023 because he did not want to be a father and had plans to pursue another woman, according to prosecutors. It was later determined that the baby was not his.
Last month, a jury convicted Adams, 28, of first-degree murder in Sims’ death and killing an unborn child buy injury to the mother. Jurors recommended life without parole for killing Sims and voted 8-4 to recommend the death penalty for killing the baby.
In a letter to Hillsborough Circuit Judge Mark Wolfe filed on October 12, Adams asked him to follow the jury’s recommendation and sentence him to death at his next hearing on December 1. “I don’t want my lawyers to present any mitigation or arguments at this hearing, and I am asking this court to sentence me to what the jury voted for,” he wrote, according to Fox 13.
“I don’t have any issue with the death penalty and I have asked my lawyers to respect my decision when we go to court,” the letter reads.
Adams’ request does not automatically mean he will receive the death penalty. Before sentencing, the judge will hold a Spencer hearing, at which additional evidence relevant to the sentence can be presented, according to Court TV. The final sentencing decision rests with the judge.
The rapper had been acquitted in a separate double-murder case just three days before he killed Sims and the baby.
Tampa Police Major Michael Stout said Sims was on her way to a party to celebrate Adams’ acquittal when Adams shot her. At the time, Stout said Adams admitted to pulling the trigger, though he did not show much remorse.
“I didn’t find him remorseful in watching my detectives do the interview, no,” Stout said, according to Fox 13.

I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
