Young Carlton met his unfortunate demise on Saturday August 23rd when he and a friend were riding a bicycle in the vicinity of downtown Kingston. The two were accosted by the Police and summoned to stop, after they complied the lawmen claim one of the young man pulled a .45 pistol and fired at them. They took cover and returned fire. Moments later a search of the surroundings revealed Carlton suffering from gunshot wounds, while the other man escaped. He was later taken to the Kingston Public Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
However since the reports, many residents and alleged eyewitnesses including a young man claiming to be the compatriot of Carlton on that faithful night have refuted the claim of the Police saying that the unarmed youngster was gunned down in cold *lo**.
