Following the arrest of two people this week in the shooting death of a St. Jude researcher, Alexander Bulakhov, court documents paint a picture of a robbery escalating to a homicide.
The shooting happened in Downtown Memphis on Sunday around 8 p.m. in front of 495 Tennessee St. Police found Bulakhov, 32, bleeding from a gunshot wound. He was rushed to Regional One Health, but died from the injuries shortly after.
Less than 24 hours later, Memphis police arrested two individuals — Marious Ward, 23, and Brandy Rucker, 22 . The two were charged with first degree murder in Bulakhov's death.
According to court documents, Bulakhov, his wife, and his 2-year-old daughter were out for a walk when a man in ripped jeans, a hoodie, and a ski mask approached his family and started waving a gun.
After the man, identified as Ward in records, demanded what is described as "property," Bulakhov handed Ward his wallet, court records show. But Ward then allegedly turned the gun on Bulakhov's wife, demanding more property, the records show.
It was then, according to court documents, that Bulakhov began to struggle with Ward in an effort to protect his wife. During the struggle, Ward's gun went off, shooting Bulakhov.
After, police said, the suspects quickly took off in a white Toyota Camry. The same car was seen by police Monday afternoon, and the investigation took the officers to the area of Whitney Avenue and Steele Street.
Video evidence of the shooting depicted a male exiting the same car police found, and "walk toward the victim and witness and shooting the victim," according to court documents.
"We are deeply saddened by the loss of a valued member of the St. Jude community," St. Jude said in a statement. "Our thoughts are with Alexander’s family and we are working to support them during this difficult time."
According to Bulakhov's LinkedIn profile he was a postdoctoral research assistant with St. Jude, working in the structural biology department. He earned his master's degree in chemistry and enzymology from Moscow State University in Russia in 2013 and was a genetic engineer in Russia until 2018.
In late 2018, according to his LinkedIn, he came to the U.S. and began working as a postdoctoral researcher at State University of New York's Downstate Health Sciences Center in Brooklyn, New York. He came to Memphis to work for St. Jude in July.

A Tennessee doctor died while trying to ward off a robber from his wife and toddler, according to reports, leading police to make two arrests in Memphis, Tenn.
Alexander Bulakhov, 32, was out on a walk with his wife Anastasia Bulakhov and their 2-year-old daughter on Sunday when a man appeared in a ski-mask brandishing a gun, according to an affidavit reviewed by PEOPLE.
The man, identified in the affidavit as Marious Ward, allegedly “demanded property” from the couple and Alexander “surrendered” what was in his wallet, including identification and a credit card.
Ward then “pointed the firearm directly” at Anastasia and asked her to do the same, prompting Alexander to try and fight off Ward to “defend” her, the affidavit claims.
During the scuffle, the gun went off and gravely injured the research doctor, according to the affidavit. He succumbed to his injuries after being taken to the hospital, the Memphis Police Department said in a press release.
Police immediately launched a homicide investigation, Sergeant Louis Brownlee of Memphis PD tells PEOPLE. Further investigation revealed that the murder was the result of a botched robbery, he says.
The suspects fled in a white vehicle that had “distinct” damages such as a missing rear bumper, a dented front door and a possibly broken glass window, the affidavit says, adding that surveillance footage shows the same vehicle “casing for potential victims” before the incident.
On Monday, police located Ward and his alleged accomplice Brandy Rucker in the vehicle matching the damage descriptions and took the two into custody after officers conducted a traffic stop.
Rucker allegedly told officers that she was driving the vehicle at the time of the incident and helped Ward flee the scene after he had shot Alexander, according to the affidavit.
Ward, who was less than a week away from turning 24 at the time of Alexander's death, “confessed to being the gunman responsible,” the affidavit alleges.
