Per NYT:
Volodymyr Ruchkovskyi needed to do one last thing before he could leave Bucha. His father, who was staying behind, was without food and electricity, so he brought him groceries and said one last goodbye. On the drive back, Volodymyr realized the Ukrainian checkpoint guards who had been stationed near his home since the start of the war were no longer there. The 50-year-old elevator technician and his partner, Olena, packed their bags, pulled out of the driveway and drove west. Volodymyr didn’t know that the occupation of Bucha had just begun, or that he was now driving toward a convoy of Russian forces. Just before 1 p.m., Russian soldiers shot at his car, forcing him to crash into a tree. Olena was unable to pull Volodymyr’s unconscious body out of the vehicle. She had no choice but to flee for her life. Volodymyr’s family hoped that he may still be alive. But when they asked friends and neighbors to help in their search, no one could find him. His burned remains were found inside the car weeks later.

The full article is worth a read. Mind-boggling how journalists and bloggers can retrace entire war crimes with phone records, geolocated footage and satellite imagery. War is very different in 2022.
