At Rest

Deadly force
Narcotics officers initiated a traffic stop because Keith Carter allegedly was seen leaving a suspected drug house in Baton Rouge. Carter allegedly refused to pull over and then barricaded himself inside a house on Sycamore Street. Hours of negotiations began--and Carter fired more than a dozen rounds at officers from inside the building before finally stepping outside 17 hours later and firing at officers. He was shot and killed.
This record exists so that Keith Carter, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
