Charlottesville Police are continuing their search for Jarod Cortez Carter, 37, who remains at large following a shooting incident in the city. This development comes after his co-suspect, Sherman Lerone Carter, 40, surrendered to authorities without incident on Monday. The investigation centers on a report of shots fired on Sunday at approximately 2:41 p.m. in the 700 block of 6th Street Southeast. Upon arrival, officers discovered that three vehicles and an unoccupied house had been struck by gunfire. Fortunately, no injuries were reported in connection with the incident. Both men are facing serious charges, including attempted malicious wounding, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and possessing a firearm as a convicted felon. While Sherman Lerone Carter is now in custody, law enforcement emphasizes that Jarod Cortez Carter is still actively being sought. The Charlottesville Police Department is urging the public to remain vigilant and to report any information regarding the whereabouts of the remaining suspect. Residents with tips are asked to contact Crime Stoppers directly at (434)-977-4000. Authorities continue to treat this case with high priority as they work to locate the second suspect and ensure community safety. The investigation is ongoing, and police have not yet released further details regarding the motive behind the shooting. The surrender of one suspect does not close the case, as the second individual remains free and is considered dangerous. The public is reminded that any information, no matter how small, could be crucial in bringing Jarod Cortez Carter to justice. The Charlottesville Police Department appreciates the cooperation of the community in this matter and encourages anyone with knowledge of the suspect's location to come forward immediately.
