Arrest Made in Federal Way of New Orleans Murder Suspect
Terrance Carter, 31, was arrested by a U.S. Marshals task force after NOPD identified him as the suspect in a fatal Aug. 23 shooting.
On September 17, the U.S. Marshals Pacific Northwest Violent Offender Task Force and Seattle Police Department SWAT arrested Terrance Carter in Federal Way, Washington, on a felony warrant for second-degree murder issued by the New Orleans Police Department.
The New Orleans Police Department issued an arrest warrant for Carter following the fatal shooting of Kevionte Davis in Louisiana, having identified him as the shooter.
Officers apprehended Carter in the 900 block of SW Campus Drive near the Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatic Center after he attempted to flee and subsequently surrendered to Seattle Police Department SWAT.
Following his capture, Carter was transported to the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent to await extradition to New Orleans; he was previously arrested for a shooting involving the Jefferson Parish Sheriff.
Acting U.S. Marshal Donrien Stephens credited the successful operation to strong partnerships with local and federal law enforcement, noting the Marshals-led task force operates across Washington, Oregon, and Alaska.
