The Man Who Confronted Fallen Chicago Police Officer Krystal Rivera

The man who confronted fallen Chicago Police Officer Krystal Rivera and other officers with a rifle inside a Chatham apartment had six active arrest warrants, including one for a felony in Cook County, according to the Chicago Police Department and court records.

Adrian Rucker, 25, is not accused of firing any shots during the confrontation but faces four felony charges, including gun- and narcotics-related offenses.

On Thursday night, Rivera and other tactical team officers were pursuing a man suspected of carrying a firearm when he fled into an apartment in the 8200 block of South Drexel, police said. Upon entering the apartment, officers encountered a second man, allegedly Rucker, who pointed a rifle at them. During this encounter, another officer fired a shot, striking Rivera in the back, according to CPD. She died shortly afterward from the gunshot wound.

The man with the rifle and the original suspect fled through the back of the apartment. Police detained several suspects, including Rucker, who was apprehended in the 8200 block of South Maryland, according to CPD. He is the only individual currently facing charges in the case.

Rucker is charged with armed violence, illegal possession of a firearm, possession of a controlled substance, and possession of a fraudulent identification card. Armed violence can be charged when an individual is accused of possessing both a firearm and narcotics simultaneously. Rucker will appear for a detention hearing on Sunday afternoon.

CPD reported that Rucker had six active warrants at the time of his arrest, including one from suburban Cook County that had been active for nearly a year.

Court records indicate Rucker failed to appear in court on an identity theft charge on June 5, 2024, exactly one year before Rivera’s shooting. Judge Ellen Mandeltort ordered her clerk to send Rucker a postcard reminder of his court obligations, but he did not comply. Mandeltort issued a failure-to-appear warrant a month later, which remained active until Chicago police arrested him on Thursday night.
