Maurice Carter, a 41-year-old man from Chicago, was tragically shot and killed on the night of December 11, 2014, in Racine, Wisconsin. The incident occurred near the intersection of 10th and Grand, where Racine police responded to reports of shots fired and found Carter suffering from a single gunshot wound. He was transported to Wheaton Franciscan Hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries.
The investigation into Carter's death led to the arrest of three suspects: Bobby
Henderson Jr., Travenn Webster, and Daimon Jackson Jr. These individuals were taken into custody and held at the Racine County Jail. The arrests were made shortly after the incident, and the Racine Police Department continued to seek additional information from the public to aid in their investigation.
Legal proceedings followed the arrests, with the State filing a complaint on December 15, 2014, charging Daimon Jackson with multiple counts related to Carter's death. Jackson faced charges including felony murder as a party to a crime while using a dangerous weapon. The legal process highlighted the severity of the crime and the efforts of law enforcement to bring those responsible to justice.
