Cedric Breyan Carter, 22, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of May 12, 2019, in Hampton, Virginia. Police responded to a call about a fight near Nickerson Boulevard and Bridgeport Cove; while officers were en route the situation escalated to a shooting. Carter was found in the road with multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Hampton police identified two suspects. An 18-year-old, Kaleb Nicol of Hampton, was arrested on May 29, 2019, in Virginia Beach. Nicol was initially charged with three counts of shooting into an occupied dwelling; investigators later added a murder charge. A second suspect, 18-year-old Cyndekah Zyeir Evans-Wilson, known as Bobby, was also sought on warrants charging murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and possession of a firearm by a juvenile; authorities described him as armed and dangerous while he remained at large.

Nicol was later indicted and ultimately entered an Alford plea to amended charges of voluntary manslaughter and shooting in the commission of a felony; remaining charges were dropped and he received a 15-year sentence with five years suspended. Does anyone have information about that night or about Cedric’s life and connections in Hampton?
