Victor V Carter, 46, was killed in Miami on January 6, 2018. Police responded early that morning to reports of shots fired near 1444 NW 45th Street and found Carter with a fatal gunshot wound to the head. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Subsequent accounts describe the shooting as part of a violent home invasion. Carter and his girlfriend were asleep when an intruder entered their home. The intruder, identified as Walter Ray Kyles III, known as Lil Boo, allegedly ordered the couple to leave while he stole a television and other items. As Carter and his girlfriend walked along the street, Kyles opened fire with a rifle, striking Carter multiple times; the girlfriend escaped unharmed.

The motive remained unclear at the time and the Miami-Dade Police Department was investigating. If anyone knew Victor Carter, lived in that neighborhood, or has information about the events that night, please share what is known.
