Anthony Carter, 47, was shot and killed on a Lexington street on June 11, 2014. Known to family as Tone, he had moved from Michigan six months earlier to Lexington to try to provide for his seven children. A resident in the 400 block of Chestnut Street heard a gunshot about 5:40 a.m. and found Carter lying in the road; he was alive when found but died at University of Kentucky Chandler Hospital at 6:16 a.m. from a single gunshot wound to the back.

Witnesses said someone fled the scene on a bicycle. Testimony at a later trial identified a suspect, Jefferey Charles Morris, also known as Black Jeff, with a witness saying she saw him at a Nelson Avenue house shortly before the shooting, heard him take a phone call in which he said he was going to get Carter, and then heard a gunshot. Morris was arrested in November in Glendale, Arizona, and charged in the killing; his defense argued he was in Louisville visiting children and had contacted the county attorney about child support before the shooting. What do readers know about Chestnut Street or Nelson Avenue around that time that might help this case?
