Letter to:

  • Ann Birmingham Scheel, Acting United States Attorney and First Assistant United States Attorney for Arizona
  • Bill Montgomery, Maricopa County Attorney
  • Joe Arpaio, Maricopa County Sheriff


On April 3, 2012, Arizona resident Daniel Adkins walked through the drive-thru at a local fast food restaurant with his yellow labrador, Lady. The driver hit his brakes, almost running Daniel over. 


After words were exchanged between the two, the driver of the car reached for his Smith and Wesson. He then fatally shot Daniel Adkins in the chest. The police report states that the shooter "thought he had no other options". (Source: CNN)


Daniel was unarmed. At 29 years old, he has the mental capacity of an adolescent. So far, the shooter has not been arrested.


We, the undersigned, hereby request that you arrest and prosecute the man responsible for the murder of Daniel Adkins.

The momentum behind this is growing and it keeps me going through these long days of silence from the authorities. I am exhausted by the lack of action but your presence here reminds me that Daniel will not be forgotten.

SELF DEFENSE? Give me a break. You dont just shoot a guy for yelling at you in a drive thru. Justice needs to be served.

Heartbreaking. My thoughts go out to his family. This never should have happened.

How does someone get away with this?? He was walking his dog and got killed for no reason. This system is broken if the shooter is walking free right now. Unbelievable.
