Actor Hailed as ‘Superman’ After Dying Saving Woman

Tragedy struck Richmond, Virginia, as beloved local stage actor Adam Turck, 35, was fatally shot while walking his dog on Saturday morning—after bravely stepping in to help a woman caught in a violent argument with her boyfriend.

According to police, Turck witnessed the dispute outside an apartment building in Church Hill and attempted to de-escalate the confrontation. In a devastating turn, the 19-year-old man pulled a handgun from his backpack and shot Turck before turning the weapon on himself. Both were found critically wounded; Turck succumbed to his injuries at the hospital. His final act: organ donation.

“If Adam hadn’t been there, that woman would not be alive today,” his family shared in a statement. “That’s what heroes do — they save others.”

Turck, known for his dynamic roles at Virginia Repertory Theatre and his 2018 Best Actor award, was described by friends as loyal, compassionate, and morally grounded. He had recently been cast in “Dracula: A Comedy of Horrors.”

“He was Superman. When he saw injustice, he didn’t walk away—he walked into the fire,” said CJ Bergin, a friend and fellow actor. “Now, the world is a duller place.”

Turck’s dog, Lana, was unharmed. The woman he protected survived without injury. And while Richmond mourns a devastating loss, his legacy lives on in those he touched — and in those his donated organs may save.

Tributes continue to pour in from across the arts and fitness communities, calling Adam a “rare force of light.” His family asks the public to honor him by “looking up,” as his favorite Superman poster once said.
