Man Convicted in Deadly 2023 Cape Cod Stabbing

A Barnstable County jury found him guilty after two hours of deliberation, and Massachusetts law requires life in prison without parole.

  • A Barnstable County jury convicted Adrian Black of first-degree murder on Thursday for the 2023 stabbing death of 19-year-old Milteer Hendricks, according to the Islands District Attorney.
  • On June 10, 2023, Black and four others drove a BMW to an apartment complex on East Falmouth Highway with the intention of attacking Hendricks, prosecutors said.
  • Hendricks was unarmed during the attack and was "outnumbered," prosecutors said. Black stabbed him in the chest before fleeing; Hendricks died the next day at a Boston hospital.
  • Black faces a sentencing hearing on Friday, where he will receive mandatory life in prison without parole under Massachusetts law.
  • The jury reached its verdict after two hours of deliberation following a trial that began on March 19, according to the Islands District Attorney.
