On January 15, 2012, six-month-old Carlton Stringer Jr. was found dead in an apartment in Lauderdale Lakes, Florida, along with his mother Natasha Plummer and Plummer’s roommate Octavia Barnett. A friend discovered the bodies and the Broward Sheriff’s Office later confirmed the deaths resulted from foul play. Neighbors reported hearing multiple gunshots from the apartment that day, and investigators described the scene as especially gruesome.

The investigation focused on Lineten Belizaire, the father of Barnett’s 11-month-old son, who was in the apartment but unharmed. Belizaire was arrested on January 23, 2012, and charged with three counts of first-degree murder. A Facebook post Barnett made shortly before her death — saying Belizaire was outside her door — was cited as a key lead. The Department of Children and Families took custody of Barnett’s surviving child.

Who knew Carlton, Natasha, or Octavia, or has information about what happened that day?
