Demonty Carter, 22, was shot in the early hours of July 28, 2026, in an apartment on the 2700 block of Brandy Drive in Columbus, Ohio. Police were called about 2:10 a.m.; Carter was found unresponsive with apparent gunshot wounds, taken to a hospital, and pronounced dead at 2:54 a.m. The scene was described as the aftermath of a violent altercation.

An affidavit states the confrontation involved a known individual and that the motive is believed to be related to domestic issues. Police allege 23-year-old Darren Cunningham Jr. forced his way into the apartment while searching for his ex-girlfriend, and that an altercation between Cunningham, his former partner, and Carter ended when Cunningham reportedly shot Carter multiple times before fleeing. A warrant was issued for Cunningham’s arrest in connection with the killing.

The investigation remains active and the legal process is ongoing. Does anyone have information about activity on Brandy Drive that night or recall seeing the people involved?
