Mass. man found guilty of murder in teen’s fatal stabbing at Cape Cod apartment
A Taunton man was convicted of first-degree murder on Thursday in connection with stabbing a Cape Cod teen to death in 2023 , the Cape and Islands District Attorney's Office announced.
A Barnstable County Superior Court jury found 25-year-old Adrian Black guilty in the death of 19-year-old Falmouth resident Milteer Hendricks after deliberating for two hours, prosecutors said in a press release.
Authorities began investigating Hendricks' death after a 911 caller reported a stabbing at a Falmouth apartment complex just before 4:45 p.m. on June 10, 2023, prosecutors said. Falmouth police responded to Gosnold Grove Apartments on Route 28 and found Hendricks with a stab wound in his chest.
Hendricks was taken to Falmouth Hospital and later flown by medical helicopter to Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, prosecutors said. He died from the stab wound at the hospital the following day.
Investigators discovered through witness interviews and security and cell phone videos that Black and four others had driven to the apartment complex intending to attack Hendricks, prosecutors said. Black then stabbed Hendricks, who was unarmed and outnumbered, before driving away with the four people he came with.
Black was arrested in Taunton on June 12, 2023, and charged with murder, prosecutors said. His trial began on March 19, 2026.
Black's sentencing is scheduled for Friday. He will receive a mandatory sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.
