Track 31: The Murder of CHERICA ADAMS
Summary: In 1999, a 30-weeks pregnant, Cherica Adams, is shot multiple times in a drive-by shooting. Someone wanted her gone badly. Her baby too. That someone? None other than (former) NFL Player and the father of her unborn child, Rae Carruth. Norma said it best - “this sounds…like a movie” and I couldn’t agree more. You’ll have to hear it to believe it.
