James Carter was a 22-year-old African American man from Chicago who was found dead in his apartment on September 26, 2021. Initial reports said he had suffered multiple gunshot wounds, and the Chicago Police Department treated the death as a homicide.

Witnesses reported a confrontation between Carter and an unknown assailant shortly before the shooting; people nearby heard gunshots and saw a suspect flee. Investigators brought several people in for questioning in the months after the killing. Forensic evidence later linked a known gang member to the scene, and that individual was arrested and charged with Carter’s murder. The suspect is described as an African American male with a history of violent offenses and was believed to have had a personal vendetta against Carter.

James Carter’s family has been active in community vigils and events calling for justice and attention to gun violence in Chicago. Does anyone have information about Carter’s last known movements or the confrontation that evening?
