Alabama

[Image: sergeant-wytasha-carter.jpg]

Sergeant Wytasha Carter
Birmingham Police Department, Alabama
End of Watch Sunday, January 13, 2019

Sergeant Wytasha Carter was shot and killed as he and another officer attempted to arrest two men who were breaking into vehicles at a bar in 900 block of Fifth Avenue North just before 2:00 am.

They were in the area on a special detail as the result of a recent rash of vehicle break-ins. One of the subjects suddenly produced a handgun and shot officers, fatally wounding Sergeant Carter and critically wounding another.

One of the subjects was wounded by return gunfire before both men were taken into custody.

Sergeant Carter was a U.S. Air Force veteran. He had served with the Birmingham Police Department for eight years and had previously served with the Shelby County Sheriff's Office, Leeds Police Department, and Fairfield Police Department for an additional nine years. He is survived by his wife and children. Rest in peace.
