John Thomas Carter III, 36, of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, was fatally shot on March 26, 2016 while walking home from a store in the 200 block of Woodbine Street. He died later that day at Penn State Hershey Medical Center. Carter was the nephew of Harrisburg Police Chief Thomas Carter and left a fiancée and five children, including one child not yet born at the time of his death.

The investigation produced arrests. Glenn Walker III, 19 at the time, was charged with criminal homicide and carrying a weapon without a license; Shawn Jones was identified as an accomplice. Prosecutors said surveillance video showed Walker and the other shooters chasing Carter and shooting him in the back. Walker and Jones were convicted of first-degree murder; Jones received a life sentence. Carter’s mother, Tracy Carter, spoke at trial about the family’s loss.

Are there details about Carter’s final movements or the 200 block of Woodbine Street that anyone in the community can add?
