Seventeen-year-old David Austin Carr was killed in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, after a dispute over a marijuana purchase. A student at Dauphin County Technical School who worked at a Giant Food Store and played soccer, David drove to the 1900 block of North Street on August 8, 2009, to confront Michael Holston about receiving less than the agreed half-pound. Witnesses saw the two speaking, heard arguing and running, and then David was chased down an alley and shot multiple times in the head; the coroner called the wounds execution-style and the autopsy confirmed multiple gunshot wounds to the head.

The investigation identified 20-year-old Michael Holston as the suspect; he was arrested, tried, and a jury found him guilty of first-degree murder. Holston was sentenced to life in prison for David’s killing. If anyone knew David, his movements that day, or the people involved, please share information that might help others understand what happened.
