Authorities in New Orleans are investigating a shocking chain of events that left two men dead following a fatal carjacking. On September 30, 36-year-old Carl Morgan was shot and killed while picking up his young son from daycare. Police identified 21-year-old Raymond Wells as the suspected shooter in the daylight attack that sent waves of grief and outrage through the community.
In a stunning twist, just 15 minutes after Morgan’s killing, police discovered Wells inside the same vehicle believed to have been stolen during the carjacking — this time suffering from a gunshot wound to the head. He was rushed to a nearby hospital but succumbed to his injuries after several days on life support. Investigators are now working to determine whether Wells’ death was the result of self-inflicted wounds, retaliation, or another shooting connected to the crime.
Carl Morgan’s family described him as a devoted father and hardworking man whose only focus that day was picking up his child. The double tragedy has reignited conversations in New Orleans about urban gun violence and community safety, as residents call for justice and deeper accountability.
