Carter was found guilty of second-degree murder (life felony), felony murder in the first-degree (life felony), and two counts of felony firearm (two-year mandatory felony).
“The defendant callously disregarded human life, turning a drug deal into a deadly shooting,” said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido. “Today’s guilty verdict stands as a reminder that our society will not tolerate such ruthless acts of violence and that justice will prevail.”
The 24-year-old will be sentenced on Thursday (Sept. 26) at 9 a.m.
