On August 18, 2015, Antonio R. Rucker, 24, was killed in a drive-by shooting outside Pepper’s Hot Dogs & Phillies on Quindaro Boulevard in Kansas City, Kansas. Known to friends and family as joyful and funny, he enjoyed motorcycles, fishing, video games and mechanics, and worked at UPS. He was described as the man of the house and made funny videos with his sister.

The shooting also killed 23-year-old Deron J. Rucker. Police charged 23-year-old Christopher E. Lewis with two counts of first-degree premeditated murder; a 2016 trial ended with a hung jury. In September 2017 prosecutors dropped the murder charges but said the investigation remained open and charges could be refiled if new evidence strong enough to support a conviction emerged.

Does anyone who knew Antonio or who was near Pepper’s Hot Dogs on August 18, 2015 have information that could help the investigation?
