Markeith Nickles was 22 when he was shot and killed on December 9, 2016, at the South Miami Market in Miami, Florida. According to police reports, a dispute with 22-year-old Terrance Carter — reportedly over Carter’s girlfriend — escalated outside the store when Carter pulled a gun and shot Markeith. Carter then followed Markeith inside, where he pistol-whipped him and shot him in the chest; Markeith died at the scene.

Terrance Carter was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon. At a court appearance Carter’s attorney argued self-defense; prosecutors said surveillance footage and witness statements did not support that claim, and a judge ordered Carter held without bond. The case drew attention because of the violence and the contested self-defense claim.

If anyone has information about the events at the South Miami Market that day or knew Markeith, please share what you know.
