  • Was he shot at the apt complex? Is the apt complex a Section 8, without security features?

    • An apartment wasn’t mentioned but they really need to take a closer look at the “victim”

    • Clown you worrying about the wrong thing every article you mentioned section 8 you must be wanting to be on it

  • Lewis Place is yet another “affordable housing” dump. The same kind our idiot commissioners want to spread all over the county.

  • Given Carter lll’s history and family history he was living and dying by the sword.

  • After an extensive AI simulation based on hundreds of local crime reports, I was able to compile this profile of the suspect:

    – Arrested for theft, drug possession, and assault within the last 60 days
    – Had all but the most minor charges inexplicably dropped
    – Has an extensive juvenile record from age 11-18
    – Released on less than $10,000 bail
    – Currently on some kind of pre-trial diversion

  • the reward should go to all the victim’s of his reighn of terror
