Rae Carruth was a promising young wide receiver that was the first round draft pick of the 1997 NFL draft for the Carolina Panthers. After only playing in the NFL for three years, Carruth was wanted for allegedly hiring a hitman to kill, Cherica Adams, who was eight months pregnant at the time with his child.

Carruth allegedly had a history of threatening other women of his past that were having his children.

Amber Turner, a former girlfriend of Carruth testified in 2001 during his murder trial. ABC News reported during the trial that Turner revealed that Carruth was furious when she told him that she was pregnant, threatening her, and insisting that she have an abortion.
Turner shared how Carruth joked about having his eldest child and mother of that child killed, and he was also worried about paying out too much in child support to all of his children.
