Terrence Carter, 33, was killed on September 29, 2017, on the Far South Side of Chicago. He and 20-year-old Charnella Lemon, who was eight months pregnant, were shot while sitting in a car parked in a vacant lot. Carter was struck once at the base of his neckline; Lemon suffered multiple gunshot wounds. Lemon’s baby, Jenae Lemon, delivered by C-section, died four days later. The Cook County medical examiner ruled each death a homicide and the Chicago Police Department logged the incident as a triple murder.

Initial reports described an ambush by an unknown assailant, but within weeks detectives concluded Carter and Lemon had shot and killed each other using Lemon’s .25 caliber pistol, a weapon tied to an earlier murder in Dolton three months before. The CPD classified the investigation cleared by death of the offender. The circumstances remain tragic and complex, with both domestic elements and questions about how the shooting occurred.

Does anyone have information about Carter, Lemon, or the events that morning that could clarify what happened?
