A day later, law enforcement arrested Hill for attempted murder. Orange County Sheriff Office deputies say he shot at a woman and her family members. He is now in custody for that separate case, but has not been formally charged.

When Winter Springs detectives went to interview the woman’s estranged husband about her disappearance, they say he wouldn’t talk.

A search is underway as family members gathered to search for Rucker who’s been missing since Saturday.

“We’re hurting, we’re hurting, this is a shock for us,” said Dedra Rucker, Shakeira Rucker’s sister.

They’re starting their search in Mount Dora where they say Hill lives.

The family says she left Saturday at around 7 p.m. to go out to dinner with him, but she never got back home. No one has heard from her since.

“We just want her to come home. We want her to come home so bad,” said Dedra Rucker of her sister Shakeira Rucker.

Authorities say video has been obtained in Polk County of what appears to be Hill and Rucker together Saturday night.

“She had on a blue Nike outfit the last time that we saw her, she got braids in her hair,” said Rucker.

The family is asking the community to help. 

“If you see something, you know something nothing is too small. Just please call Winter Springs Police Department Anything, anything will help us right now,” said Rucker.

Police have not gone as far as calling Hill a suspect in this case as they work to learn more about Shakeira’s disappearance.
