On January 11, 2014, three-year-old Logan Matthew Carter of Fontaine, Arkansas, died of a gunshot wound to the head. The boy was taken to a hospital in Paragould, where he later died.
What began as a possible accidental shooting became a criminal investigation by the Greene County Sheriff’s Office. Authorities arrested Logan’s father, Michael Jefferson Carter, then 23, and charged him with second-degree murder. An affidavit says Carter was holding a .45-caliber handgun in the family’s living room when it discharged and a single bullet struck the child. Carter was held on a $1 million bond.
