Deron J. Rucker, 23, was killed in a drive-by shooting on Tuesday afternoon, August 18, 2015. The shooting took place just after 2 p.m. in the parking lot outside Pepper’s Hot Dogs & Phillies in the 1900 block of Quindaro Boulevard in Kansas City, Kansas. Deron and his 24-year-old cousin, Antonio R. Rucker, were both found dead at the scene.

A suspect, 23-year-old Christopher E. Lewis of Kansas City, Kansas, was charged with two counts of first-degree premeditated murder. That 2016 trial ended in a hung jury. In September 2017 the Wyandotte County District Attorney’s Office dropped the charges, saying they could be refiled if new evidence emerged. No one is currently incarcerated for the murders of Deron and Antonio Rucker.

If anyone has information about the shooting or remembers seeing activity in the 1900 block of Quindaro Boulevard on August 18, 2015, please come forward.
