The incident occurred on June 5th, 2024 at an apartment in Winter Springs, Florida. On that date, the 8-year-old autistic son of 39-year-old Laurie Adams and 51-year-old Adel Tawfeek had an accident and defecated in his pants.
Upon learning of the accident, Tawfeek became enraged and began screaming at both the mother and son. Laurie had quietly cleaned her son and put him to bed, despite Tawfeek's angry rantings and ravings.
However after putting the child to bed, Tawfeek once again began screaming at Laurie and slammed her hard against a wall. He then grabbed a beer and went out to sit on the back porch to drink and smoke.
Laurie spent approximately 15 minutes trying to calm down and steady herself after Tawfeek's violent outburst. She then made her way to the couple's closet where she received Tawfeek's firearm and loaded it. Laurie then walked out onto the porch where Tawfeek was still drinking and smoking and shot Tawfeek once in the head.
Laurie then called 911 and reported that she had shot Tawfeek. When police arrived on scene they discovered Tawfeek on the porch suffering from a gunshot wound. He was transported to a local hospital where he passed away a short time later.
Laurie Adams was found guilty in the shooting death of Adel Tawfeek this week and sentenced to 25 years in prison. Her mother has taken over care for her young son.
