Clarence Carter was 26 when he was fatally shot inside the Blue Ivory Restaurant & Lounge on Whitehall Street in southwest Atlanta in the early morning hours of July 1, 2015. The club was crowded near 4 a.m. when an assailant approached Carter and, without any apparent argument or exchange of words, shot him multiple times. The attack triggered chaos among patrons and staff.

Investigators determined Carter was the intended target and interviewed numerous witnesses, but identifying the shooter proved difficult despite the large number of people present. No arrests have been made, no suspects have been publicly identified, and the motive remains unclear. Carter’s family and community continue to await answers about what happened that night.

If anyone remembers being at the Blue Ivory that morning or has information about Clarence Carter’s killing, please come forward.
