Joseph Anthony Jimenez, a 19-year-old Hispanic man from El Paso, Texas, was shot and killed on February 21, 2020 during a drug deal that turned violent on the far east side of the city. Jimenez was taken to a local hospital and was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Carter and an accomplice attempted to flee by car; Carter crashed the vehicle, ran on foot and was later located at an east side residence with assistance from a Texas Department of Public Safety helicopter. Carter was arrested and charged with murder and held on a $1 million bond. An 18-year-old, Joseph Banda, was also arrested and booked into the El Paso County jail on a $1 million bond in connection with the killing.

The El Paso Police Department Crimes Against Persons unit handled the investigation. If anyone knew Joseph Jimenez, was at the Bird Song Street residence that night, or has information about the transaction and what led to the shooting, please come forward.
