NFL player Rae Carruth had fallen on hard times. Because of injuries, his career was in jeopardy, and he soon fell into financial straits after losing a child support battle and a string of bad investments. So when Carruth found out that he had a baby on the way from Cherica Adams, one of Carruth's many girlfriends, he decided to kill her and make the murder look like a random act of violence on the road. What Carruth didn't expect, was that after Adams had been shot four times, she would survive long enough to dial 911 and explain the crime to the dispatchers. She also managed to write notes about the murder that told the story of Carruth blocking her car with his on the road so she couldn't escape being shot. Adams did not survive the shooting but her and Carruth's infant son was rescued.
