Deandre Carney, 19, was killed in Raleigh, North Carolina, on April 7, 2018. According to reports, Carney was one of the people trying to enter a home on Brintons Cottage Street in the early morning when the homeowner fired shots in what police described as self-defense. The homeowner’s 11-year-old son was seriously injured and taken to hospital; Willie Richardson, 22, was also shot and later charged with armed robbery, conspiracy to commit armed robbery, first-degree burglary, and possession of a firearm by a felon.

Police concluded the homeowner acted in self-defense and did not file charges in connection with Carney’s death. Authorities did not disclose how Carney, Richardson, and the homeowner were connected or what triggered the encounter. Few other details about the entry or the sequence of events have been provided.

Did anyone in the Raleigh area have information about who Deandre Carney was with that night or what led to the attempted entry?
