Elmer Rucker, 23, was fatally shot on April 18, 2018, at the Pinewood Gardens apartment complex in Trotwood, Ohio. He and 25-year-old Antonio Collins were found inside a car at the complex with multiple gunshot wounds; Rucker was taken to Miami Valley Hospital and died of his injuries. Residents reported hearing eight to ten shots.

The Trotwood Police Department opened a double-homicide investigation but has not released information about suspects or arrests, and investigators have not explained why Rucker and Collins were at the complex that night. The Murray Law Firm has suggested the possibility of negligent-security claims for the families if the complex’s security played a role.

Rucker was a Ponitz Career Technology Center graduate and was enrolled at Clark State Community College, majoring in Criminal Law. His memorial service was held April 25, 2018, at the House of Wheat Funeral Home in Dayton.

Did anyone in the area see or hear anything the night of April 18, 2018, that could help investigators?
