William Jarrett Carrico

How they died

Suicide

Officers Sgt. Donnie Martin and Officer Tyler Ray responded to a report of a domestic dispute. While speaking to William Carrico's roommate, Carrico walked outside the residence and refused to cooperate with the commands of the police. Carrico went back into the house, and the officers followed him inside. He started firing on officers. Officers didn't return fire because they weren't able to see Carrico. The officers left the residence and called for backup. That's when they heard an additional gunshot from inside. With the use of a robot, police were able to see Carrico lying on the floor of a bedroom, dead of a self-inflicted gunshot.
