In the autumn of 2016, a domestic dispute in Washington, D.C. ended in tragedy, claiming the life of 33-year-old Carl Holloway. On Monday, November 14, 2016, Holloway, a resident of the city, was fatally shot. The incident that led to his death involved his own father, a retired D.C. police lieutenant.
The fatal encounter was preceded by a history of domestic strife. Court records from late October of that year show that Carl Holloway had been arrested for assaulting his father.
As a result of that incident, a court had ordered him to stay away from the family home. The shooting occurred when he returned to the residence in violation of that order.
Following the shooting, the retired police officer was accused of killing his son. News reports at the time detailed the domestic nature of the dispute that escalated to the use of deadly force. Carl Holloway was born on May 18, 1983.
