Carter owned the Triple C Convenience store, also known as Carter Convenience and Candy, and he was working that night. His children say he ran the shop since they were young.
“My father, he was a good man,” said Georgia Carter. “He left behind the positive feeling about being an owner, you know, starting off small.”
