Beloved Richmond actor shot when he stopped to help a stranger on the street
"Adam Turk was a beloved actor, personal trainer, and community advocate who lived in the Shockoe Bottom neighborhood of the City of Richmond," said Del. Rae Cousins (D-Richmond). "Adam loved all things related to comic book heroes but had a special affinity for Superman, even having the iconic Superman S tattooed on his shoulder. He could always be counted on to help a person in need."
Not only was Turck honored by the House, but his friends and family members gathered to advocate for gun violence reform.
Cousins also asked that the House be adjourned in his memory, which they did.
Meanwhile at the Bell Tower, Virginians were also seen chanting Turck's name and wearing Superman gear in his honor.
