MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A man is behind bars and facing a murder charge after a shooting Monday in Memphis' Fox Meadows neighborhood left one dead and another injured.
Kelvin Rucker has been charged with first-degree murder, two counts of criminal attempted first-degree murder, and possession and employment of a firearm during a dangerous felony, according to court records.
Memphis Police said their officers responded to the shooting scene at the 2700 block of Mojave Place just after 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 9.
Two men were found with gunshot wounds and taken to Regional One Hospital, one in critical condition and the other non-critical condition. Memphis Police said one of the men later died.
According to an affidavit, the other man, who had been shot in the face, survived, and there was an additional victim who had not been injured. The two surviving men told investigators that a feud with Rucker had been going on over the last few years.
The men said they saw Rucker drive past one of their homes Monday, proceeding to follow them to Winchester in his black Hyundai Elantra, according to the affidavit. They tried to get away from Rucker by driving to Mojave Place afterward, but Rucker caught up and fired shots into their vehicle, striking two of them and escaping the scene.
One of the men positively identified Rucker in a lineup, the affidavit said.
