Officers responded to a shooting call at the above address and discovered a Hispanic male deceased. Investigators determined through witnesses, that Mr. Carter had just arrived home when he was approached by a Hispanic male and black male. The Hispanic male, with an automatic pistol, ordered Carter to get on his knees and then took his wallet and cell phone. During this time, the black male was inside Carter's vehicle. The Hispanic male was threatening to kill Carter when the black male shot at Carter from the car, missing him. Carter then pulled out his pistol and shot and killed the Hispanic male. The black male, while firing at Carter, sped off in the car, struck another parked vehicle, and then fled on foot. Carter's girlfriend called 911 for help.

The suspect is described as a dark complected black male, 17 to 20 years of age, approximately 165 pounds, 5 feet 11 inches to 6 feet tall and wearing a baseball cap, white shirt, blue jeans, dark tennis shoes, and a red bandana on his face.
