Rachael Hughes, 32, was fatally shot in the early morning hours of a Sunday in Louisville, Kentucky, after leaving a laundromat on Bardstown Road with 27-year-old Michael Bullock. Surveillance shows them drive to the Shawnee Park boat ramp in west Louisville; footage captured both exiting the car and Hughes walking ahead of Bullock when he reportedly pulled a handgun and shot her eight times, striking her head, neck, and torso.

Bullock left in Hughes’ vehicle and later returned to the park twice with a juvenile. The two are accused of dragging Hughes’ body into nearby woods and discarding her cell phone in the river. Her body was found just before 3:30 p.m. that day; her abandoned, ransacked car was recovered on 46th Street near the park. Bullock was arrested and charged with murder, robbery, abuse of a corpse, tampering with physical evidence, and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon; bond was set at one million dollars. A juvenile was also taken into custody on related charges.

Hughes’ mother described her as a giving, loving person who would help friends and neighbors in need. Does anyone have information about Hughes’ movements that morning or about activity at Shawnee Park around that time?
