John Raymond Tucker, 33, was a patrolman with the Fort Gay Police Department. On Saturday night, April 20, 1985, Tucker was inside his patrol car conducting radar enforcement shortly before 10:00 p.m. when he was shot and killed. Law-enforcement memorial records identify the weapon as a shotgun and record his death as a line-of-duty gunfire fatality.

Authorities apprehended two suspects within three days of the killing; one of those arrested had previously served as a patrolman with the Fort Gay department. Publicly accessible records do not identify the suspects, specify charges, or provide a documented account of any trial or conviction. Tucker left a wife, Frankie Parson Tucker, and three children: daughters Chrystal Lynn and Amanda K., and son John E. Tucker, along with five sisters and five brothers. Funeral services were held April 24, 1985, at Big Hurricane Baptist Church.

Does anyone have reliable information about the suspects or the case outcome?
