The Jonesboro, AK Police department have released more info regarding the curious case of Chavis Carter.
In a minute-by-minute detailed description of what occurred the night
of his death, the press release stated that Chavis texted his
girlfriend while sitting in the patrol car, telling her he was scared
and he had a gun on him.
It was also revealed earlier today that Jonesboro Police Chief
Michael Yates told the Associated Press the department had requested
gunshot residue testing in Chavis’ case.
As reported by KAIT8 News:
"Police say text messages on Carter's phone show he had stolen the gun
in question from a woman or individual in Jonesboro. Police say other
text messages show he had the gun on him to bring to another individual,
Brandon Renald Baker. Baker is currently in the Greene County Jail on
aggravated burglary charges, and admitted to police on Tuesday that he
did request the gun from Carter.
Police also say that Carter's girlfriend told them he called her from
the rear of the police car and told her that he loved her and that he
had a gun on him in the rear of the police car and that he was scared.
For the autopsy, Arkansas' state crime lab says it didn't perform
gunshot residue testing on a man fatally shot in the head while
handcuffed in a patrol car because it doesn't do that kind of analysis
on victims of homicides or suicides."
