Jonesboro Police release new evidence in Chavis Carter shooting death
Jonesboro Police have released new information regarding the shooting death of Chavis Carter.

Jonesboro Police have released new information regarding the shooting death of Chavis Carter.
According to police records, Chavis Carter died of an apparent gun shot wound to the head while handcuffed in a patrol car.
New information revealed that a small .380 caliber cobra semi-auto firearm was discovered along with an expended case and a projectile, which was recovered in the back of the vehicle.
Investigators said the firearm found in the patrol car had previously been reported stolen by a Jonesboro resident.
These pieces of evidence were packaged and sent to the Arkansas State Crime Lab along with Carter’s body after he died at a nearby hospital a short time after the shooting.
A number of witnesses were interviewed, and Jonesboro police said their statements were consistent with the officers accounts of what happened and with the dash cam video from both cruisers.
Officers said the statements and the audio/video evidence from the dash camera’s account for the police officer’s actions from the beginning of the stop until the arrival of the ambulance.
The report also said the evidence indicates that neither officer removed his weapon, fired a shot or was in a position to enter the vehicle where Carter was detained in a manner that would allow for them to injure Carter.
Police are continuing the search for witnesses and anticipation further investigation.
Furthermore, the Jonesboro police department told Region 8 News that the windows in the patrol unit where Carter was detained were up and intact, indicating no possibility of a bullet penetrating from the outside of the patrol unit.
There are still so many questions on what happened. New evidence suggests that Chavis Carter may have shot himself. If Chavis Carter did kill himself, how did the Jonesboro police miss the gun?
Stay tuned for more updates.
