Carleton Cartier, 58, was shot and killed on I-85 in Charlotte, NC on August 28, 2021. Kevin Jordan, 24, was charged with Carleton’s murder.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Carleton was driving on I-85 on August 28th in the evening when several shots were fired at him from another vehicle. Carleton was hit by the gunfire and wrecked.  <\/p>\n

Emergency aid was rendered, but Carleton was pronounced deceased on scene. The murder caused drivers to wait in traffic for hours as the scene was investigated. <\/p>\n

Due to tall concrete medians and exits out of reach, many drivers had no choice but to sit and wait in snarling traffic. After a few hours, the scene was cleared and traffic began to flow again.   <\/p>\n

A man killed himself on I-77 North in 2019, the situation caused a massive traffic back up for over 5 hours. Starving children and angry adults waited in despair.<\/a> <\/p>\n

Per the I-85 homicide Kevin was pulled over on August 28th in a traffic stop but he failed to stop, and a vehicle pursuit ensued. <\/p>\n

Kevin eventually jumped from the vehicle and fled the scene. With the assistance of K9 and aviation units, Kevin was caught and arrested. <\/p>\n

Kevin is charged with murder, discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle, felony flee to elude, and resisting public officers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
