The Ray Carruth case involves former NFL player Rae Carruth, who was convicted for conspiring to murder his pregnant girlfriend, Cherica Adams. In November 1999, Adams was shot multiple times while driving her car, and she later died from her injuries. The motive behind the shooting was revealed to be Carruth's desire to avoid child support payments for the unborn child.

Cherica Adams, who was eight months pregnant, managed to call 911 after the shooting. She implicated Carruth in the attack, alleging that he had arranged for the hit. Doctors performed an emergency cesarean section to save the baby, Chancellor Lee Adams, who was born with cerebral palsy due to the traumatic events.

In 2001, Rae Carruth was found guilty of conspiracy to commit murder, shooting into an occupied vehicle, and using an instrument to destroy an unborn child. He was sentenced to 18 to 24 years in prison. Carruth was released from prison in 2018 after serving nearly 19 years. The case gained significant media attention and remains one of the notable instances of criminal conduct involving a professional athlete.
