KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Kansas City man has been charged with fatally shooting a woman as she rode on an all-terrain vehicle.
Prosecutors announced Monday that 38-year-old Glenn Darren Rucker is charged with second-degree murder and armed criminal action in the July 1 shooting of 41-year-old Sharon Heifner-Douglas.
Witnesses told police she was riding the ATV with her dog walking alongside her in the grass when a sport utility vehicle pulled up and fired shots at her. The witnesses said they did not hear or see any conflict between anyone in the vehicle and Heifner-Douglas.
An SUV matching the description of the one from the scene later was spotted at a car wash with Rucker inside. He was taken into custody for an outstanding warrant.
Charging documents said that the Kansas City Crime Lab found that shell casings collected at the homicide scene had been fired from a handgun found in the vehicle.
Prosecutors requested a $150,000 bond. Rucker is being held in federal custody. No attorney is listed for him in online court records.
