3 in custody for murder of Cleveland woman, who died in crash after shots fired at police
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – A total of three people are now in custody for their alleged role in the death of a 26-year-old woman last month.
Antwoina Carter, of Cleveland, was killed on Sunday, March 17, after an officer-involved shooting and crash.
Cuyahoga County Spokeswoman Jennifer Ciaccia said Cleveland police officers were in the 10500 block of Garfield Ave. around 5 a.m. Sunday, March 17, when two cars drove past at high rates of speed.
Gunshots were fired from one of the vehicles.
Cleveland officers returned fire, said Ciaccia.
One vehicle fled the scene and the other crashed nearby, said Ciaccia.
Ciaccia said officers found Carter outside of the crashed vehicle. They rendered first aid until Cleveland EMS arrived and transported Carter to University Hospitals, where she was pronounced dead.
The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner said Carter died from a gunshot wound to the trunk and she was not struck by an officer’s bullet.
“Preliminary testing does not indicate that police activity was directly responsible for the decedent’s death,” said Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner Dr. Thomas Gilson.
The Cuyahoga County Use of Force Investigation Team is handling the investigation and announced Monday three people have been arrested.
- On March 24, 2024, Trinity Ford, age 19, was arrested by members of the Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Department in the 10500 block of Drexel Avenue in Cleveland on charges including murder and felonious assault.
