On the night of September 6, 2015, 19-year-old Carlton Capone Caruth was shot and killed while escorting a man out of a building on Main Street in Fayetteville where a concert was taking place. Caruth, described as polite and active in his church and community, had recently graduated high school and planned to pursue further education.

Authorities identified 29-year-old Michael Domonic Sales as the suspect after the altercation. Police say Sales began trying to provoke a fight; Caruth, trying to defuse the situation, asked him to leave and was shot as he escorted him outside. A warrant was issued charging Sales with criminal homicide, and he was considered armed and dangerous during the subsequent manhunt.

The case raised questions about motive and the events leading up to the shooting, including claims about Sales’s background that were contested in court. Is there anyone who attended the concert or knew Carlton who can offer details about the confrontation that night?
