Beast gets life for shooting child ten times

Madison-Rankin District Attorney Michael Guest issued the following statement.

Habitual Offender Receives Life Sentence for Shooting a Nine Year Old Child

Madison and Rankin Counties’ District Attorney Michael Guest announced today, following a two day trial, Larry Carter IV was sentenced to serve life without the possibility of parole after being found guilty of shooting into an occupied dwelling and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

On October 5, 2016, at approximately 2:45 a.m. the Madison County Sheriff’s Department received a 911 call from the Canton Garden Apartment Complex reporting that multiple rounds had been fired into an apartment and that a child had been struck by the gunfire.

When officers arrived on the scene they immediately proceeded to the bedroom of the apartment where a 9 year old child had been shot multiple times. Law enforcement performed emergency medical care on the child until paramedics arrived. The victim was transported to UMMC and underwent emergency surgery. Law enforcement later spoke with the doctors at the hospital and learned that the child had been shot ten times.

Investigators spoke with the victim’s mother and step-father and learned that they and their three children, ages 9, 7 and 2, were in the house sleeping when they were awakened by numerous gunshots. Once the shooting stopped the parents began to check on their children and discovered that their oldest child had been shot. Law enforcement searched the perimeter of the apartment and recovered 23 spent shell casings. Officers also recovered numerous projectiles from the walls of the apartment.

Law enforcement developed Carter as a suspect and he was placed under arrest and transported to the Madison County Sheriff’s Department where he was advised of his rights and agreed to speak with investigators.
Carter admitted that he was the individual who had shot into the apartment. He also told law enforcement that he was a gang member and that the victim’s step-father was a member of a rival street gang. Carter said that prior to the shooting the step-father “had been disrespecting him and needed to be dealt with.” At one chilling point of the interviews, investigators reported that Carter appeared upset that no one was killed during the shooting incident. Carter admitted that he had been using ecstasy and cocaine prior to the shooting.

Guest stated, “Carter is a terrible person who chose to shoot up an apartment where three children were sleeping because he felt that the children’s step-father was disrespectful to him. I cannot think of a better place for Carter to spend the remainder of his life than behind bars. I cannot thank the jurors of Madison County enough for holding him accountable for his actions.’

Guest concluded, “Sheriff Randy Tucker and his team did an outstanding job putting together a rock solid case against Carter. Their investigation provided us with the evidence we needed to obtain convictions against Carter that ultimately removed him from our community. The citizens of Madison County will be safer because of the hard work of the Madison County Sheriff’s Department.”

Hobson has two prior felony convictions and was on probation at the time of these crimes. He was previously convicted of breaking into two homes in Madison County in 2011.

District Attorney Michael Guest was sworn into office in January 2008 and represents the Twentieth Judicial District, Madison and Rankin Counties. For more information regarding the District Attorney’s office, follow us on Facebook, download our app or please visit www.daguest.com.

His esteemed defense team should have requested a change of venue and had this case tried where Ben Allen and Robert Schuler Smith were tried.

What do David Archie and the ACLU have to say about this clearly racist outcome?

Justice for Tyrion said...

Ok I get that this is a bad dude but a life sentence without the possibility of parole? Sounds a little excessive considering that no one was killed. Some actual murders don't even get that harsh of a punishment. Can't help but to think that a white man in the same situation would have received a lighter sentence but you cant make that argument on this blog.

@9:09, they do in Rankin and Madison Counties. That is why we don't have the "Hinds County effect" going on. Say what you will, but it works.

He was a habitual offender.

I have no problem giving a white guy life for this crime if the rest of the facts were the same. If you remember, I wanted to give Dedmonds the death penalty.

Read the headline: "Habitual Offender Receives Life Sentence for Shooting a Nine Year Old Child"

This is not this dude's first visit to the courtroom. In case you don't understand, the key word is "Habitual." If you still don't understand then grab your Webster's.

Oh, I forgot. You're just a troll. Go on back to your basement.

You mean a white man who's in a street gang and goes and pops a bunch of caps into someone's apartment because the white man inside is in a rival gang? And hits the rival white man's kid with 9 bullets?

How often you think that scenario comes up?

@9:09 can't imagine receiving life without parole because nobody was killed? Habitual or not he deserved it. A child was shot 10 times. The suspect said he was mad nobody died. He wanted someone in that house killed whether it be a child or the step dad he had no regard for human life. Instead of race why don't you consider the victim. The pain and suffering that child probably suffered not only from the shooting but also from what I can assume multiple surgeries and rehabilitation not to mention the psychological problems that the shooting caused the child.

Justice for Tyrion said...

I respect the argument that he's a habitual offender, doesn't show remorse, etc. All I'm saying is that the punishment must fit the crime. Give him 30 years of hard time but don't throw away the key just because an individual claimed he was part of a "gang". Yall are so quick to condemn African Americans as thugs that don't deserve the same considerations of justice that other groups of people in our society are privileged to.

Who is Hobson?

I call white hoodlums thugs all the time. Thug is a thug.

Judge doesn't have a choice on violent 3d felony, it's statutory.
Also, you could not 'accidently' hit someone 10 times, bet he saw him through a window...

10:30 -- A thug is not judged by the color of his skin but the content (or lack thereof) of his character. This guy fits the definition of thug.

Daryl Dedmond - amazing how those kids were leaving the cushy suburbs to harass poor black people in Jackson.

I thought that was the whole point for them being out there in the suburbs, to get away from the "dangerous" blacks of Jackson.

Looking at how the 'necks of Stankin Rankin are always bashing the place.

Racist pigs!

Justice for Tyrion.....who said this guy was white or black ? No where does KF's article say the defendant was a black man. Apparently you are assuming he was black, which would seem to indicate that you're as racist as the others here you accuse of the same.

Bottom line people, this guy is stupid regardless of color. Dude should be beaten everyday for a year, in jail and have his nads removed. This gang crap has to he dealt with harshly. People have lost any ability to think beyond their immediate needs and feelings. They have generally lost the ability to think.

Eye4Eye said...

I agree with JFT, life is too long. Just shoot him 10 times and let him go.

I'm black, and I think his sentence was just right.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
