Donald E. Carter Sr., 82, was found unresponsive outside his business, Carter’s Quality Furniture on East Washington Street in Suffolk, Virginia, in the early morning of September 22, 2014. He had sustained a gunshot wound to his lower torso and died shortly after arrival at Sentara Obici Hospital. Carter was a lifelong Suffolk resident, a U.S.

Army veteran of the Korean War and the long-time proprietor of the family furniture business, which he had worked in for over 60 years. Friends said he often went to the store in the early hours because he had trouble sleeping, and that habit placed him at the scene that morning. Police described the incident as a robbery that turned lethal; three people were later arrested in connection with the ambush and shooting.

Does anyone have information about Carter’s business routine or who might have been in the East Washington Street area that night?
