<p>Police Commissioner Trevor Botting told reporters investigators believe Carter&#8217;s killing was random and may have been linked to a turf war between rival gangs. Carter and his girlfriend, who was not identified, were visiting the islands to celebrate his 40<sup>th</sup> birthday,<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span> The pair were leaving the beach on a hotel shuttle bus when he was shot.</p>

<p>Botting  <a href="https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/arlington-virginia-man-kent-carter-killed-on-vacation-turks-and-caicos-naacp/3174605/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told NBC4</a> that gang members shot “indiscriminately,” hitting the shuttle bus and sparking a shootout with police. In addition to Carter, a tour guide and a suspect were killed and five other people were injured.</p>

<div>
<p>“These criminals proceeded to indiscriminately shoot into the vehicle transporting the employees and tourists,” Botting said. &#8220;Our deepest condolences go out to the families of those murdered.”</p>
<p>No arrests had been made, but police recovered the suspects&#8217; car and several guns, authorities said.</p>

<p>A U.S. State Department spokesman said officials are providing consular assistance to Carter’s loved ones.</p>

<p>NAACP Arlington Branch President Julius Spain told the outlet Carter shielded his girlfriend from the gunshots, potentially saving her life.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>“Words alone aren&#8217;t enough to say how much this hurts, how much we grieve right now,” Spain said.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Carter worked as a real estate agent in the Northern Virginia area. Robert York, a neighbor of Carter’s, said the slain man will be greatly missed.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>&#8220;He and his family, just really great neighbors. So this is just incredibly sad news,&#8221; he told FOX 5 DC.</p>
