Laterrence Dewon McCarter, 23, was found dead after a shooting at the Brookville Garden Apartments on Highland Avenue in Starkville, Mississippi. Officers arrived about 1:45 p.m. on Tuesday, November 26, 2019, and the Oktibbeha County Coroner ruled his death a homicide; the body was sent to the state crime lab for autopsy.
A suspect, Aviante Jordan, then 16, was arrested and charged with murder in connection with the shooting. The case went to trial, but in May 2023 the jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict after seven hours of deliberation and the judge declared a mistrial. The District Attorney must decide whether to retry the case.
Does anyone have information about McCarter, his movements that day, or the Brookville Garden Apartments neighborhood that could help investigators or the family?
