On November 16, 1999, Rae Carruth plotted a drive-by shooting of his ex-girlfriend after Cherica Adams, 24, refused to get an abortion. With the help of Van Brett Watkins Sr., a nightclub manager, and Michael Kennedy. Adams was shot four times by Watkins after Kennedy pulled the car up beside her on Rea Road. Carruth was then arrested in November 1999 with charges of conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder, and other charges.
When Adams died a month after the shooting, Carruth fled and was finally arrested when FBI agents found him hiding in the trunk of a car in the parking lot of a Best Western hotel. The trunk contained $3,900 in cash and two bottles full of Carruth’s urine. He and his accomplices were then charged with murder.
Kennedy testified against Carruth, saying that Carruth is the mastermind behind the attack and that he had given him $100 to buy a gun just hours prior to the shooting.
According to WBTV, Carruth wrote a 15-page letter to Saundra Adams, the mother of Cherica Adams, accepting responsibility for the 1999 conspiracy to murder Cherica Adams and voicing his goal in gaining custody of his son.
“I’m apologizing for the loss of her daughter. I’m apologizing for the impairment of my son,” Carruth told WBTV. “I feel responsible for everything that happened. And I just want her to know that truly I am sorry for everything.”

However, Saundra Adams refused to relinquish custody to Carruth, saying that “Chancellor will be raised either by me or, after I’m gone, by someone else who loves him and who knows him. He will never be raised by a stranger — someone he doesn’t know and who tried to kill him.”
In response to this, Carruth feels that he owes Chancellor and that he let him down as he came into this world. Carruth feels that the only way that he can make it right is to work out the relationship with his son, being there for him.
Chancellor Carruth has cerebral palsy and permanent brain damage due to the loss of blood and oxygen the night of his birth.
Rae Carruth is now 44 years old.
