| Synopsis: Both Vincent Williams and Jacob Rucker appear to have planned a targeted drug robbery of a residence in the Brookside neighborhood. There possibly could have been more accomplices who escaped uninjured, as this apparently stemmed from a large dispute between 2 groups concerning a sale of drugs. Williams and Rucker and other possible unknown accomplices likely wanted to get back drugs they felt they were cheated of and decided to rob the other group. There were multiple people in the home at the time that night, and it appears that Williams and Rucker tried breaking in through the front door or other areas. Rucker, atleast, was found at the end of a blood trail leading from the front door area, and with Williams dead inside its likely that Williams was able to gain entry and confront residents. However, when police made entry, the only person found inside was Williams fatally wounded. There were also no drugs found in the home despite the dispute said to have concerned it, and since witnesses said they saw people running out earlier, its likely that the shooter and accomplices grabbed their drugs and their guns and fled after Williams was shot down. No suspects were identified and its unknown if they ever caught or identified the gunman, as well as any others involved in the drug disagreement. Criminal records show Williams was released from prison less than a month prior. His record consisted of several charges of "robbery by force and fear." Rucker had the same charges of robbery by force and fear on his record as well as controlled substance charges. The home was later torn down, (in between 2011-2016) likely due to damage from possible drug activity. A newer "modern" home was built on the lot. |
