Case Story |
|

Bullets Fly Over Lover's Quarrel In South Florida |
|
| |
A sunny afternoon in late April 2008 took a tragic turn for a car full of women and children in a Fort Lauderdale apartment complex.
Cops say Shameca Davis and Shanesha Conaway were driving to Kevin Cartwright's neighborhood to discuss some personal matters when Cartwright's quick temper got the best of him in the hot Florida sun.
In broad daylight and in full view of neighbors in a complex known as The Village, Cartwright emerged from an apartment and walked up to the driver's side of 22-year-old Shanesha's car. Detectives with the Fort Lauderdale Police Department say Cartwright began arguing with the women, and Shameca got out of the car as tensions began to escalate.
What started out as an argument between ex-lovers quickly turned violent as cops say Cartwright pulled a gun and started shooting. The whole scene was caught on tape, in clear view of The Village apartment complex's newly-installed surveillance camera. |

Lives Destroyed As Chaos Ensues |
|
| |
Cops say Cartwright fatally shot Shanesha at point-blank range, while she sat helpless in the driver's seat of the car. Two of Shameca's relatives, as well as two small children, were seated in the back seat when Cartwright pulled the trigger.
With Shanesha shot, everyone ran for their lives. Shameca's relatives took off with the 3-year-old, leaving the newborn in the backseat, all alone. Cops say Cartwright then ran around the back of the car and shot at his ex-girlfriend, Shameca, striking her twice -- once in each leg.
In the heat of passion, cops say Cartwright then pistol-whipped Shameca while she lay on the parking lot pavement, bleeding and terrified.
The man cops believe to be Cartwright then ran back into his apartment. In the midst of the terror, and in Cartwright's absence, a Good Samaritan emerged from a nearby apartment and swiftly removed the infant from the backseat of Shanesha's car.
With witnesses running around the chaotic scene, cops say Cartwright then ran to his flashy gold Chevrolet and peeled out, leaving his victims behind as he fled.
Cops recovered his car just three days after the crime, but Cartwright was nowhere to be found. |

Accused Killer May Be Easy To Spot |
|
| |
Police say this accused killer should not be difficult to spot. Cops say Cartwright is a tall, black male, standing 6'6" and weighing a mere 170 lbs. He has a large, dark mole in the center of his forehead, and a narrow, drawn-in face. He is known to have a goatee, but may have shaved it off to help disguise himself.
Cops say Cartwright has violent tendencies and should be considered armed and dangerous.
Fort Lauderdale Police are asking for any help they can get to track down this cold-blooded killer before he strikes again. |
