Police found his body in the street near the intersection of Princess Avenue and Avon Avenue; he had sustained multiple gunshot wounds. Investigators said the shooting may have involved more than one assailant.

Officers canvassed the neighborhood for witnesses and surveillance footage but made no immediate arrests, and police had not identified a motive or determined whether Carter was the intended target or an innocent bystander. The Atlanta Police Department asked anyone with information to come forward and offered a reward for tips that could lead to an arrest and indictment. The case remains unresolved.
