Investigators later searched the home and seized six firearms— including two ghost guns, or guns assembled from fabricated parts, or parts of multiple guns none of which have serial numbers rendering them untraceable, altered high capacity magazines allowing for up to 40 additional bullets, two bulletproof vests, and thousands of dollars in cash, police said at a t conference on Tuesday, July 12.
Carr had been shot at over 100 times when he was found dead in the 300 block of West Philadelphia Street at 11:13 a.m. on Wednesday, July 6, York City police revealed at the conference.
Carr is survived by his two children, family, and friends, according to social media.
Carr was previously brought in by city police in 2020 for questioning about the shooting death of Willie Hicks but additional details on that case were not released.
Brown was previously charged in connection with the shooting death of Anthony "Tony" Wasilewski, 19, who was killed during a fight over a cellphone on July 20, 2011, according to the National Registry for Exoneration.
Brown was found guilty of first-degree murder on November 14, 2013 and was later sentenced to 50 years to life, according to the registry and court records.
After multiple appeals claiming self-defense, he received a retrial, won his case, and was released on February 3, 2022, the registry details citing the court records.
