Bringing additional source with details as i am not able to access above


Shakeira Yvonne Rucker, the missing mother from Winter Springs, was found dead inside of a storage unit in Apopka on Saturday, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies said that just before 5 p.m. they responded to the Self Storage located at 2400 Wiggins Road “in reference to an odor coming from one of the storage units.”



UPDATE: Earlier today, OCSO deputies responded to the Self Storage at 2400 Wiggins Rd. in Apopka and found Shakeira Rucker dead inside a storage unit. This is now an Orange County homicide case.
 
Video of press conference is included at link. She died of gunshot wounds. Storage unit was registered in Hill's name. He will be charged, but since he is already incarcerated with no bail, there is no rush. There is time to gather all of the evidence.

 
An article about the ex GF who left him in September and whose house was shot up the day after Shakeira went missing - MOO she was very, very lucky she wasn't killed also:

"Angel Milligan has been asking herself one question, over and over: Why?

In particular, she wants to know why the man she briefly dated has been named a suspect in the murder of his estranged wife, Shakeira Rucker.

Cory Hill is accused of killing Rucker, whose body was found inside an Apopka storage unit over the weekend. Milligan said she only recently found out that Hill was married to Rucker, so she broke it off in September.

On Nov. 11, Rucker was reported missing, last seen with Hill at a Polk County restaurant. A day later, authorities said Hill showed up at Milligan’s Orange County home and started shooting up the place, leaving bullet holes everywhere.

"I want to ask him, ‘Why? Why me? Why her?’" said Milligan. "It's heartbreaking, not an easy feeling."

<and>

"… just having flashbacks of what happened that day, what could have happened," said Milligan, who sees many similarities between herself and Rucker.

Like Rucker, she said she is a mother of four. She also said both were involved with Hill and found themselves in violent situations.

Milligan said she has yet to return to her home. She said she is still too scared and doesn’t want her children to see the house with bullet holes."

 
Some new items to me in this report (BBM):

"Channel 9 obtained this new arrest warrant, which shows surveillance video showed them entering an Apopka storage facility just after 6:30 on the morning of Sunday November 12. Hill was seen leaving alone 20 minutes later. Documents show someone sent a text from Rucker’s phone to family members around that same time saying she was on her way home."
< >
"Deputies wrote in the affidavit that she was shot four times, including once in the head -- then someone “attempted to conceal the body haphazardly by placing two tires in front of the body.”
< >
"Deputies wrote in his arrest affidavit that Hill used the same gun to shoot Rucker and at Mulligan."

 
Shakeira Yvonne Rucker

Shakeira Yvonne Rucker, 37, was reported missing after her family told the Winter Springs Police Department they last saw her on November 11, CNN previously reported.

Rucker’s family reported she left her home for “an unknown destination,” possibly with her estranged husband, Cory Hill, police said at the time.

“The Office of the State Attorney for the Ninth Judicial Circuit has formally filed charges against Cory Hill for the murder of Shakeira Rucker,” prosecutors said in a statement Friday. “Hill remains in jail under a no bond status stemming from his November arrest of Attempted Second Degree Murder and other charges against his ex-girlfriend and her family
 
Hill’s attorney is trying to get a judge to dismiss evidence the Orange County Sheriff’s Office obtained at the storage locker because the deputies reportedly opened the unit without a warrant. Robert S. Larr of the Orange County Public Defender’s Office is using the “Fruit of the Poisonous Tree” argument in an attempt to get the evidence tossed.

A property manager from Your Storage Units in Apopka called 911 around 5 p.m. on Nov. 18 after she possibly saw a head in a neighboring unit. There was also a “distinct odor of human decomposition” emanating from the locker, cops said. Larr writes in the motion that body camera shows the door to the unit was “clearly closed.” One of the responding deputies opened the locked door, Larr wrote.
