Melissa Rocuba's final moments were forever changed by a surveillance video that eight years later revealed the truth behind her accidental shooting death. The footage shows the 24-year-old woman, Melissa, struggling to regain consciousness in her bedroom after being shot by an unknown assailant.
According to reports, Rocuba had been involved with a man who claimed he accidentally shot her, stating that she was holding onto his gun and it went off. However, new evidence suggests otherwise. The surveillance video reveals the person claiming responsibility for the shooting to be different from the one initially reported.
A "48 Hours" correspondent, Anne-Marie Green, delves into the case, retracing Melissa's steps and interviewing those close to her in an effort to uncover the truth behind her tragic death.

i cant even imagine being in melissa's shoes, struggling to wake up after being shot... the fact that there was a surveillance video all along but nobody knew about it for 8 years is just crazy 
and now we get to see the real truth behind what happened. its heartbreaking thinking about her life and how short it was cut short like this. idk if new evidence can ever bring back her, but at least now we have a better understanding of what really went down 
... think about it, a life cut short by some unknown assailant, just leaving a trail of family pain and confusion behind. And now this surveillance footage comes along, revealing a new player in the game, someone who's been hiding in plain sight all these years. It's like, what even is the truth anymore? Is it ever really knowable? And what does it say about our society that we're so quick to believe whatever narrative gets fed to us? The 48 Hours crew is trying to get to the bottom of this, but I wonder if they'll just end up scratching the surface. What lies beneath the surface when we think we've uncovered the truth? 
I'm low-key fascinated by these true crime stories. This one is pretty wild, though - eight years have passed and new evidence comes out that completely flips the script on what we thought was the story. It's crazy how surveillance footage can be so damning, especially when it shows someone's final moments. The fact that the guy claiming responsibility changed his story is just icing on the cake. 
I'm intrigued to see how "48 Hours" digs into this case and tries to piece together what really happened to Melissa. Hopefully they'll get some solid answers for her family. 
I need more concrete evidence before I start believing anything.
. And can you believe they claimed she was holding onto his gun when it went off? sounds like a pretty good excuse until we have evidence of who actually pulled the trigger... 
I'm still shook by this crazy surveillance video! The fact that it was eight years and we're just finding out what really happened to Melissa Rocuba is just mind-blowing 
I'm so down for Anne-Marie Green doing this investigation, at least someone's trying to uncover the truth and give Melissa's family some answers 
. It's just heartbreaking that this is how her life ended, and now we're left with all these questions and suspicions... 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this surveillance video being released 8 years later... it's crazy how technology can reveal new evidence like that! 
The fact that the person claiming responsibility for shooting Melissa was different from what she told her loved ones is just mind-blowing. It's like, how did we not know about this earlier?! 
. But at the end of the day, it's just tragic that she died under these circumstances 
. I'm really intrigued to see how "48 Hours" is gonna break down this case and get to the bottom of it... it's like a real-life mystery novel! 
Can't wait to watch the episode and learn more about what really happened 
The fact that the surveillance video has revealed a different person claiming responsibility for the shooting is just mind-blowing. It's like, why did it take so long for this to come to light? And now Melissa's family gets the chance to finally have some answers, which I hope brings them some closure
