Sixteen-year-old Eriana Nicole Carr, a Benson High School student described as outgoing and kind-hearted, was killed in a drive-by shooting on the evening of October 30, 2012, in Omaha, Nebraska. Eriana was struck twice and died; her friend Nakia Johnson was shot 11 times and survived. Both were outside Carr’s residence when a blue Nissan Altima with a damaged front bumper pulled up and fired into the pair.

Investigators linked the vehicle to Tracy N. Parnell. Johnson did not see the shooter, but she identified the car and told police that Parnell had threatened her two days earlier after she brought someone from a rival gang to a party, a detail authorities say provided a possible motive and suggested Johnson may have been the intended target. Parnell was arrested and charged in connection with the shooting.

Eriana’s family and the community were left mourning a young life cut short. If anyone has information about that night, the vehicle, or people connected to the case, please share what is known.
