MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A Memphis woman has been arrested for a second time in connection with the murder of a St. Jude doctor.
After being on the run for months, Brandy Rucker, 23, is behind bars for the second time since January. She’s facing first-degree murder and aggravated robbery charges.
Police say they intended to rob him, but he tried to protect his family and was fatally shot.
“(He said) ‘Give me your money,” Anastasiia Bulakhova said. “And that’s it. So, we didn’t hear anything else from him.”
She pointed out Ward as the shooter. “I will remember his eyes forever,” Bulakhova said.
Ward was charged, but all of Rucker’s charges were dropped and she was free to go.
“At the preliminary hearing, the judge found no probable cause to prove she committed the crimes, based on the available evidence and identification at that time, leading to her release,” said the Shelby County District Attorney’s office.
Charges dismissed for one defendant in St. Jude doctor’s death; wife points to Ward as shooter However, Rucker’s attorney knew it wasn’t over for her client.
“Despite being dismissed, (the case) can still be presented to the grand jury,” Lauren Fuchs said.
And that’s exactly what the Shelby County District Attorney’s office said happened.
In a statement to WREG, the office explained that after the DA’s office presented the case to the grand jury, they determined there was probable cause and a warrant was issued in April.
“After our office presented the case to the grand jury, they determined probable cause existed, resulting in an April 16, 2024 warrant for charges including first-degree murder and aggravated robbery. This warrant remained outstanding until her recent arrest,” the District Attorney’s office said.
Rucker was arrested on Monday and is being held on a $1 million bond.
Black on white murder?
Man bites dog?
Yup. Why the leftscum mainstream media does not care.
His full name is Alexander Bulakhov. Not hard to search for images. A doctor who worked for St. Jude’s helping save children’s lives murdered by scum. May they rot in Hell.
And why was she released in the first place? Participated in a felony that resulted in a death. Don’t know the law but from what I’ve read that makes her subject to a felony murder charge.
We live in odd times where the “weak” (poor) prey on the productive (smart and well off).
Part of it is this welfare system that puts free nutritious food and alcohol in useless people’s bodies that would otherwise have been forced to work at menial jobs all day and been basically too darn tired to carry on their unemployed behavior.
The poor lived in terror of the wealthy in Ancient Rome. Here and now they run the streets:

Hey, when you're being robbed by the police, just hand it over.
It was mostly a peaceful robbery, except the shooting part
