A woman's life was cut short just hours after a shooting in her bedroom. Eight years later, the truth behind the fatal accident has come to light thanks to shocking surveillance footage. The case drew national attention when Melissa Rocuba died from an "accidental" gunshot wound back in 2014.
The new evidence suggests that she may not have been as alone as initially reported. Video obtained by CBS News appears to show someone lurking outside her home around the time of the shooting.
Rocuba's family has long claimed they were unaware of any suspicious activity at their home, but now that video raises many questions about what really happened in those fateful final hours of her life.
The case has left Rocuba's loved ones reeling with questions as to whether she was a victim of foul play or an accidental shooting gone wrong. The footage may be enough for authorities to reopen the case and seek new charges, but only time will tell if justice will be served.
For now, it remains a haunting reminder that even in our own homes, danger can be lurking just around the corner.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole thing... 8 years ago, Melissa Rocuba's life was cut short and everyone thought it was an accident? Now we're being told that someone might have been lurking outside her house around the time of the shooting? 
It's just crazy thinking about how much we didn't know back then.
This case is definitely a reminder that you never really know what's going on in your own backyard.
. It's wild that her family has been saying they knew nothing about any suspicious activity at their home all this time, and now we're left wondering if they were really just oblivious or trying to cover something up... I mean what even is the likelihood of someone stumbling upon a crime scene and not noticing anything? 
Anyway, I guess this new evidence might be enough for authorities to reopen the case, but it's gonna be tough to figure out what really happened without more info. It's just so sad that her life was cut short like that 
this is so freaky! I'm literally shaking thinking about it... who would do something like that? The fact that they were trying to cover it up all these years is just mind-blowing 
. The footage is so intense, I don't blame them for wanting to reopen the case 
. It's just not over yet... 
but like whats wiv this guy on the vid?? who r he? why is he lurking outside her house at night?! its not like hes just out 4 a walk lol did she have anyone els in the house that nite?? was it a boyfriend or a stalker or what?? i dont know bout u guys but im shakin jus thinkin bout it 
. I hope the authorities re-open the case ASAP 
and bring justice to Melissa's loved ones 
. It's a harsh reminder of how quickly tragedy can strike 
. The fact that they're reopening the case and maybe even seeking new charges is a good start, but it's gonna take some time to figure out what really happened 
what if this case actually gets solved and the person who was lurking outside is caught? would be a major justice update
