Michael Carter, 56, died on March 23, 2018, in Orlando, Florida. A long-time local and a cook by trade, his death was initially reported as sudden and unexpected but later determined not to be from natural causes.

Investigators concluded Carter was the victim of a violent crime and classified his death as a homicide after evidence indicated foul play. Several suspects were identified as the probe continued; Laurie Shaver emerged as a primary suspect and was charged in connection with the killing. Reports say Carter was shot in the back of the head and that the alleged motive involved personal disputes and financial issues.

Family members attended court hearings and sought answers throughout the investigation. Does anyone with knowledge of Michael’s life, work, or the Orlando community at that time have information that could shed more light on what happened?
