Angel Marie Carlton, 25, was shot and killed near Lawrence Orr Elementary School in east Charlotte on December 2, 2015. She was the mother of three children. The investigation produced an arrest: Montez Stephon McLaurin was charged in connection with her murder. McLaurin later pleaded guilty under a plea deal that avoided the death penalty, a resolution Carlton’s family said left them dissatisfied. Her mother Amanda Hill said McLaurin should consider himself lucky to still be breathing while her daughter is gone. The shooting and its effects on Carlton’s young family drew significant local attention at the time.

If anyone knew Angel, her movements that day, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
