Kevin J. Carter, 28, was killed in a home invasion in Buffalo’s Bailey-Delavan neighborhood on December 18, 2007. At about 12:30 a.m. two armed intruders forced their way into his Navel Avenue residence, demanded money and shot Carter. He was taken to Erie County Medical Center and pronounced dead at 1:01 a.m.

Other people were in the house during the invasion but were not physically harmed. The suspects left with an undisclosed amount of cash in a gray four-door 2000 Chrysler 300 bearing license plate EDC-8798. Police stated they believed the attack was not random and that Carter was specifically targeted, noting his lengthy criminal record of at least 18 convictions as a possible motive. The homicide remains unsolved with no arrests or publicly identified suspects.

Anyone with information about that night, the vehicle, or contacts who may have been connected to Carter is urged to come forward.
