Carleton Lockhart

Deadly force

Ex-con Lockhart caused a scene when retrieving his cell phone from the teen who had stolen it about a week prior, assaulting the teen then firing his gun at random. Police responded and cut off his possible escape routes on a short Bronx street, also the scene of another Lockhart shooting incident years before. Officers shot him to death and maintained he fired his own gun, although none was ever recovered.
