On the evening of July 1, 2020, 41-year-old Sharon M. Douglas was riding her all-terrain vehicle near East Red Bridge Road and Bennington Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri, with her dog running alongside. A sport utility vehicle pulled up beside her and the occupant fired multiple gunshots. The shots caused her ATV to crash; she was left lying in the road and was pronounced dead at the scene after a bullet struck her chest.

Investigators treated the shooting as apparently random, with witnesses saying there was no visible altercation beforehand. Five days later police located a matching SUV at a car wash near 43rd Street and Prospect Avenue; the occupant, Glenn Darren Rucker, was taken into custody on an unrelated warrant. Detectives recovered a handgun from the vehicle and forensic testing matched shell casings from the scene to that gun. Rucker also called police the night of the shooting and admitted to shooting a woman on a four-wheeler. Prosecutors charged him with second-degree murder and armed criminal action, and a jury later found him guilty. In June 2022 a judge sentenced him to twenty years for the murder and twenty years for armed criminal action, to run concurrently.

Did anyone in the area see the SUV or remember anything unusual that night?
