April Ruggs, 41, was shot inside her Mobile, Alabama home on November 1, 2020. Police responded at about 10:58 p.m. to the 2600 block of Farnell Drive after multiple rounds were fired into the residence from outside. Several bullets struck Ruggs; she was taken to a nearby hospital and later died of her injuries.

Investigators continued the probe for months. In January following the shooting, Mobile Police arrested Lashaun Lamar Pruitt and charged him with April Ruggs’s murder, alleging he fired the fatal shots into the Farnell Drive home. A separate shooting on the same street led to the arrest of Reginald Paul Pryor; he was not charged in Ruggs’s death but was said to have shot in an effort to prevent retaliation and critically wounded a 5-year-old boy.

Does anyone have information about the November 1 shooting or the events on Farnell Drive that night?
