17-year-old Navaeh Carter Homicide

Nearly a week after the murder of 17 year old Naveh Carter and facts still remain elusive. Why? Perhaps the facts as told by witnesses doesn't match other evidence.

The initial report was straight forward:

"Detectives with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department’s Homicide Unit are conducting a homicide investigation at the intersection of North Graham Street and Craighead Road in the North Tryon Division."

One question begins with why was a 17 year old Monroe High School student on the North side of Charlotte at 2 am on a Friday night? How many cars were hit? Just her car, as the CMPD PIO statement indicates or more than one car as facebook and Instagram posts reportedly meantion?

CMPD PIO added to the confusion with the following statement:

 "The victim in this case has been identified as Navaeh Carter, 17. The victim’s family has been notified of his death."

"His Death" was Carter actually a guy? 

If so was this a targeted hate crime? 

Then yesterday the CMPD PIO attached the update and arrest of two suspects in an entirely different case (the murder of Kamorrie Prather) to the original post regarding Carter.

Two dates are also used May 31 and June 2 for the update.

The facts are confusing and the dates are conflicting and the public is left to wonder just how incompetent are the people we are counting on and if the PIO is incompetent how bad is the rest of the operation?

Was this a targeted attack, a hate crime or just a random act of violence? No one is saying.

It is not just the CMPD PIO, the MCSO and Mecklenburg County Courts have issues with names and aliases. The recent arrest of Thomas Cartee as entered by the MCSO is straight forward enough but the clerk's office entered his name as Thomas Cartee III his real name is Thomas Lee Osbon Cartee, III.

But the Mecklenburg Courts have it as Cartee III. Without the coma the ecourts portal doesn't recognize the III as a suffix.

Another example the arrest of Keion Brown is entered as  BROWN, KEION RONTONIO DEPINA by the MCSO but in the court's paperwork his last name is Depina - Brown.

This is a constant issue for CMPD, MCSO and Clerk of Courts. With the explosion of hispanic surnames in the county, the system is overwhelmed. No wonder Sheriff McFadden doesn't want to cooperate with DHS and ICE since the hispanic names are crazy confusing and that's why we have AOC rather than Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
