Police said he shot and killed his foster mother Donya Adams, her daughter Amory Adams and his younger sister Payshience Adams in their home near Lookingglass in November 2017.
According to court documents, his foster father, Robert Adams, was out of the home at the time of the muders, and when he arrived home, Kevin admitted to killing them.
A grand jury filed additional murder counts due to the circumstances of the alleged crimes.
Adams is being charged as an adult. He is expected back in court in April for a status check hearing.
