Case Summary

A new charge related to the February shooting death of Damien C. Wires, 34, is being presented to an Adams County grand jury for possible indictment. A Quincy woman, who had previously pleaded not guilty to allegations of assisting in hiding a suspect from arrest, now faces additional legal scrutiny as part of the ongoing investigation. Law enforcement had issued a warrant for Stephen J. Mosley in connection with the shooting, and during an attempted arrest at a North 11th Street residence, two other occupants tried to flee but were apprehended. The case remains active with law enforcement continuing to investigate all individuals potentially involved in the shooting and related offenses. The grand jury's decision will determine whether formal charges will be brought against the Quincy woman and possibly others connected to the incident, reflecting ongoing efforts to hold accountable those involved in the criminal activity surrounding the shooting death.
