A missing Florida woman was found dead in her estranged husband’s storage unit, authorities said.
Shakeira Yvonne Rucker, 37, was found dead Saturday in a storage unit on Wiggins Road in Apopka, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office said Saturday on Facebook.
Police investigation
The sheriff’s office is investigating Rucker’s case as a homicide.
‘This is not the update we wanted to be giving you all today,’ Sheriff John Mina said at a news conference Sunday, adding that the story has had a lot of ‘twists and turns’ over the last week and covered many jurisdictions.
She was reported missing
Shakeira Rucker, a mother first reported missing about one week prior to her body being found on Saturday, died from an apparent gunshot wound, Orange County Sheriff John Mina announced during a Sunday news conference.
Rucker’s family members and other loved ones held a vigil after the news conference on Sunday, WKMG-TV reported.
The sheriff’s office had been assisting the Winter Springs Police Department in a search for Rucker that spanned multiple Florida counties after her disappearance earlier this month.

When she was last seen
She was last seen on Nov. 11, when security footage showed Rucker with Cory Hill, the estranged husband, CBS affiliate WKMG-TV reported.
Hill was named a person of interest in her case on Tuesday.
By Sunday, he was detained in the Orange County jail and being held without bond, Mina said.
Hill faces four counts of attempted homicide for shooting at his girlfriend and family in an other incident on Nov. 12.
