A late-evening shooting in the South Blue Valley neighborhood left 56-year-old Pamela Ahmed dead on March 29, 2025. Police were called just before 7 p.m. to the 5600 block of East 29th Street, where Ahmed was found in the front yard with gunshot wounds to her upper body and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Surveillance footage from the residence showed a man arrive in a Chevrolet Tahoe, walk across part of the front yard, and allegedly shoot Ahmed multiple times as she came out of the house. An eyewitness told investigators Ahmed had recently developed an addiction to crack cocaine and identified the man as her alleged drug dealer. Investigators identified the man as 39-year-old Damien A. Carter, matched him to the Tahoe and the handgun, and arrested him. Carter was charged with second-degree murder, unlawful use of a weapon, and two counts of armed criminal action and is being held on a $25,000 bond.

Ahmed was remembered by family as generous and affectionate; she was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Jamal Ahmed, a sister, and a cousin, and is survived by a sister, five brothers, and many nieces and nephews. If anyone in South Blue Valley witnessed the events of March 29 or knows more about Ahmed’s relationships, please share what you know.
