DANVILLE — Little new information is known in the shooting death of a Danville man last month.

Twenty-six-year-old Larry D. Carter Jr. of Danville was found shot and killed during the early morning hours of May 13 in the 500 block of Robinson Street. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Danville Police Deputy Director Doug Miller said Friday that police detectives are still working in an attempt to locate witnesses to the shooting or individuals with knowledge of the incident.

“We believe there are people out there with knowledge of what happened,” he said.

Miller said no warrants have been issued in connection with the shooting investigation.

Since the shooting, police have worked off of reports indicating a vehicle stopped where Carter was and a single person got out. The person went up to the victim and shots were fired.

No descriptions of either the suspect or the vehicle were released in the days following the shooting and Miller said Friday that police do not have descriptions available at this point.

He confirmed early beliefs that Carter and the suspect knew each other and that the crime was not a random act, such as a drive-by shooting.

The shooting was the first murder in Vermilion County in 2012.

Anyone with information regarding the Carter shooting can call Danville police detectives at 431-2250 or Crime Stoppers at 446-TIPS or by leaving an anonymous e-mail at http://www.vccrimestoppers.org.

Racing in the Blood
Ron Colson attended his first Indianapolis 500 when he was 7 years old. That was 66 years ago. He’s missed only one of the Memorial Day weekend classics since then, and that was in 1950 when he had the mumps. He grudgingly handed his prized ticket over to his uncle that year. Luckily for the 10-year-old, it was one of the few early years when the race was televised, and the family friends who owned Crane’s TV Shop in Hillsboro, Ind., invited him to come watch it with them.
