Carter was shot multiple times and pronounced dead at the scene.
Detectives were also notified of another shooting at a nearby car wash where the victim was transported to the hospital. That victim was listed in the affidavit as Bibbs.

According to an affidavit, Bibbs told them he was robbed and shot at the car wash on Rigsby Avenue and Lakefront Drive and did not know Carter.
