Last Friday, a Macomb County jury convicted 24-year old Joshua Carter of murder after a seven-day jury trial by Assistant Prosecutor Anthony Servitto with the assistance of Assistant Prosecutors Jurji Fedorak and Fred Bartolomei.
Carter, of Detroit, participated in a drug deal with the victim which resulted in Carter shooting the victim twice in the head at a gas station in Warren. 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). He will be sentenced on Thursday, September 26, at 9 a.m. in front of Macomb County Circuit Court Judge Julie Gatti.
“The defendant callously disregarded human life, turning a drug deal into a deadly shooting. Today's guilty verdict stands as a reminder that our society will not tolerate such ruthless acts of violence, and that justice will prevail,” said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido.
