The shooting happened on the morning of June 18th in front of Pierre's home at 1130 NE 133rd Street.
McAdam, a well-known videographer in the area, served in the Navy from 2001 to 2007. He last served on the USS Asheville as a sonar technician. Pierre was a rap artist.
Family members said Pierre was asleep when he got a phone call and went outside to talk to McAdam about a music video they were working on together. That's when they say a car drove by and shots rang out.
Pierre's family was sleeping inside the home when they heard gunshots.
"We woke up to five to six gunshots at 1:30 in the morning, my mother goes to [Kenson's] bed to check and he was the only one missing," she said. "We don't know why, why would they kill him?"
Police have not said what led up to the shooting.
