Jacob Lyle Rusk, an 18-year-old from Plano, Texas, was killed on October 3, 2020. A recent graduate of Plano Senior High School and described by family as caring and musically talented, he was with friends at Jack Carter Park when a car approached the group and an altercation followed. Rusk stepped in front of a friend to protect them after occupants of the car pulled out a gun and opened fire. He was struck and later died despite friends’ efforts to get him to the hospital.

Police described the shooting as targeted and said the people involved knew one another. Three 18-year-olds — Rudhra Ronakkumar Patel, Abdulrahman Qays Al Dulaimi, and Michael Anthony Davis — were arrested in the days after the shooting and charged with murder; Patel also faced a drug possession charge. The arrests were made at the Collin County Detention Center.

If anyone was at Jack Carter Park that night or has information about the altercation, did you notice a car approaching the group or anything that could help establish what led up to the shooting?
