A Clayton County mother is demanding answers after her 14-year-old son was shot and killed last weekend at a home along Old Dogwood, just off Tara Boulevard. His mother said Kendarius Carter was shot in the neck.
“I just want somebody to come forward and let me know what happened to my baby,” said his mother, Latosha Carter. “I just want y’all to just put these guns down.”
She said police told her someone entered a townhome and shot her son around 8 p.m. July 28. The townhome is unoccupied and is just down the street from where the teen lived with his mother.
Carter said her son would have been a ninth grader this year at Lovejoy High School and planned to try out for basketball and track.
Ebony Ellis, who taught Kendarius in the seventh grade, attended the gathering. She called him “super energetic, very smart. It was hard not to love him and be connected to him. His energy pulled you in. I am really gonna miss him.”
“He loved to be around people,” she said. “He was a people person. Whoever did this to him, we do not know why, but it hurts. He did not deserve this; he did not deserve this at all.”
