Adrian Rucker, 25, of Freeport faces multiple charges in the deadly shooting incident, including armed violence and having an invalid Firearm Owners Identification card.

Jaylin Arnold, 27, is an alleged drug dealer who investigators said was armed when he encountered Rivera and her partner. Arnold faces several felony charges, including weapons and drug charges along with a warrant violation.

In court, prosecutors said the officers tried to engage with Arnold after they noticed what they thought was a gun with a drum magazine, and Arnold ran, prompting a pursuit near 82nd and Drexel.

The pursuit led the officers to a nearby apartment, where authorities say Arnold had guns and was preparing drugs for sale.

That is where investigators say Rivera and her partner encountered Arnold’s co-defendant, Rucker.

Authorities say that’s when Rivera’s partner lost his footing, and his weapon accidentally discharged, striking Rivera and killing her.
