Carter Lee Coley Jr. was a 17-year-old senior at Woodward High School in Toledo, Ohio. A varsity football player who played linebacker and running back and a member of his church’s praise dancing team, Carter had planned to join the Army National Guard and was described by family as warm, jovial, and friendly.

On November 14, 2014, Carter was shot three times in the back by his best friend, Shonta Jones, after an argument about missing money following a football game. Jones was later sentenced to 13 years in prison for involuntary manslaughter. Carter’s family, who had taken Jones in during the football season, said the sentence did not bring them justice and that they will live with the loss forever, though they took some comfort from community support and encouragement to keep Carter’s name alive.

If anyone knew Carter, his circle at Woodward, or has information about the events that night, please share what you know.
