On April 6, 2022, Ricket Damon Carter, a 43-year-old African American male, died in Columbus, Georgia. His passing was announced by Sconiers Funeral Home, but the obituary did not specify the cause of death. While there are reports suggesting Carter was a victim of gun violence, other sources indicate his death was a non-criminal event with no associated arrests or suspects.
Born in Columbus on June 2, 1978, he was remembered by his loved ones.
It is important to note that public information sometimes confuses Ricket Damon Carter with a younger man of a similar name who was involved in a separate and unrelated legal matter. In 2017, Ricket Damon Carter III, then 19 years old, and another individual, Troy Jamal Cokley, were arrested in connection with the shooting death of a Berry College student.
The charges against Carter III and Cokley included murder, aggravated assault, armed robbery, and possession of a controlled substance. The incident reportedly occurred after the two traveled to Rome, Georgia, to meet the student, and an argument ensued. Following a trial, both Ricket Damon Carter III and Troy Jamal Cokley were found not guilty of the murder and robbery charges in October 2018.
