Timothy Rucker, 25, was found dead inside a residence on Padre Lane in Indianapolis on July 17, 2022. An emergency contact was alerted by Rucker’s GPS monitor after it showed no movement for about eight hours; entry to the home revealed a fatal gunshot wound to the face.

Police identified 33-year-old Najee Givens as a suspect. Officers had arrested Givens the same morning after responding to reports of someone knocking on doors; he was sweating and disoriented and found in possession of a handgun, for which he was booked as a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. Ballistic testing later matched that gun to the fatal shot that killed Rucker. Reports say Givens was on parole at the time, having a prior conviction for reckless homicide from 2016.

What information might help clarify the timeline between Givens’s arrest and the time of Rucker’s death?
