A man convicted of murder in the death of his ex-girlfriend, 30-year-old Christina “Ashlee” Rucker, will be sentenced on Thursday.
Chad Absher shot his then-girlfriend Christina Ashlee Rucker and her sister, Lisa, before taking police on a two-day manhunt in 2017.– guilty of first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder last month.
Lisa Rucker identified Absher as the shooter before she was taken to the hospital. She hopes Absher spends the rest of his life in prison. During the trial, Absher took the stand in his own defense. He claimed he never shot either woman. He said Ashlee shot at him and missed — that bullet hit Lisa. Then Absher claimed that he and Ashlee fought for the gun and she pulled the trigger and shot herself. The evidence did not support his claims.
