Cherica Adams, a girl he had been dating, was shot four times in a
drive-by shooting. Adams was seven months pregnant with Carruth's baby
when that occurred on November 16, 1999, in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Doctors saved her son, Chancellor, in an emergency Caesarean section,
but Adams died a month later on December 14. Born prematurely and in
distress, Chancellor has cerebral palsy.
