Dayzhair Day Day Rucker, 24, of Syracuse died on August 16, 2021, from injuries he sustained in a shooting the year before. The shooting that left Rucker paralyzed occurred on August 16, 2020, at a gas station and was one of several shootings carried out by the same individual over a three-week period that terrorized parts of the city. For a year Rucker battled those injuries before succumbing, and his death converted the attempted murder case into a homicide investigation.

Authorities identified Tyquan Graham as the person responsible for that shooting spree. Graham was linked to the earlier shooting deaths of Erskine Dodson on July 26, 2020, and Charles Peacock on August 4, 2020, and to another incident the morning after Dodson’s murder in which shots were fired into a residence without injury. Graham was arrested in September 2020, and the attempted murder charge related to Rucker was upgraded to a murder charge after Rucker’s death.

Does anyone have information about Rucker, the August 16, 2020 gas station shooting, or the series of attacks that month?
