About this episode
Ricky “Coolie” Gray, his nephew, Ray “Lucky” Dandridge, and Ashley Baskerville (Ricky’s girlfriend) were cruising the streets of Richmond in Ricky’s van during the mid-morning of January 1, 2006 "looking for a house to rob" when they ended up in the middle-class neighborhood of Woodland Heights. By the time they were caught, 7 people were dead, and one was beaten so badly, he'd never use his right arm again.SOURCES:1) Court Records2) House of Freaks Singer Murdered3) Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: Stepfather didn't trust Gray4) Fox News: Jury Weighing Execution for Killer of Richmond Family Hears Testimony of Violence5) CBS6: Friday Morning Blog - Arlington Attack Testimony6) Death Penalty Information Center: Independent Pathologist Says Autopsy Reveals Problems With Virginia’s Execution of Ricky Gray7) Richmond.com: Dandridge Gets Three Life Sentences8) CourtTV Crime Library: Tucker/Baskerville Family Murders--"She Never Really Had a Life..."9) inRich.com: Dandridge pleads guilty; sentenced to life without parole10) Fredericksburg.com: Culpeper indicts Gray Man convicted of Richmond murders charged in slaying of Sheryl Ann Embrey.11) StarExponent.com: Not guilty plea from convicted killer Gray
