Antwoina Carter was a 26-year-old home health aide and mother of five from Cleveland’s Glenville neighborhood. Family described her as witty, loud, and funny, who loved cooking, music, family time, and sitting by the lake.

In the early morning of March 17, 2024, Carter called 911 to report a disturbance at her home. Around 4:30 a.m. while driving on East 105th Street near Garfield Avenue, her car passed a second vehicle driven by 19-year-old Trinity Ford. After Carter stopped, a rear passenger in Ford’s car, Christopher Stinson, fired at least 20 shots into the back of Carter’s vehicle. Cleveland police officers who were already responding to the earlier call heard the gunfire, returned fire, and found Carter outside her crashed car. She was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead. The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide from a gunshot wound to the trunk that injured her heart, lungs, and spine; investigators confirmed the fatal bullet did not come from a police weapon.

Investigators used video to identify the three occupants of the suspect vehicle and made arrests in late March and April 2024. If anyone knew Antwoina or saw activity in the Glenville area that night, please share what you know.
