Larry Douglas Carter, 33, was shot and killed on Franklin Street in Chester, Pennsylvania, on May 5, 2010. His death came amid a series of unsolved homicides that prompted community initiatives such as the Chester 12 project by Women of Strength for Change to press for answers and justice for victims of gun violence.

Investigators identified James Armstrong as the person responsible for Carter’s killing and charged him in connection with this homicide and two others. Prosecutors relied heavily on witness testimony; one key witness died before trial and another left the area, illustrating the fear some witnesses faced. Armstrong was ultimately convicted and sentenced to life in prison, with additional years for the other killings.

If anyone knew Larry Carter or has information about unsolved homicides in Chester from that period, please come forward to help families still seeking answers.
