Winter Springs police are seeking the public’s help after a woman was reported missing earlier this week in the company of her estranged husband.

Shakeira Rucker, 37, was last seen around 7:30 p.m. Saturday leaving her home in the city with Cory Hill, a Winter Springs Police Department spokesperson said in a release. Hill, 51, was booked into the Orange County Jail Monday on multiple charges of attempted murder for a separate incident, but Rucker was not with him at the time.

“The family has not seen or heard from Shakeira . . . and believes that she may be in danger,” the Winter Springs Police Department statement said.

The attempted murder charges arose from a Sunday confrontation at Holly Creek Road in Zellwood, where Hill allegedly approached a woman and her family and fired shots at them, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office. No injuries were reported.

Hill left the scene but was later arrested by Mount Dora police.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Shakeira Rucker is asked to contact investigator Tracy Fugate at 407-327-6561 or tfugate@winterspringsfl.org
