Atlanta Man Sentenced to Life for Killing Friend Over $35

The fatal dispute, rooted in a minor financial disagreement, culminates in a life sentence for Rickey Carter.

Rickey Carter, 65, was sentenced to life plus five years in prison for the fatal shooting of his friend, Quinlan Parker, over a $35 debt in Atlanta.
The incident occurred in January 2022 when Carter and Parker argued over a small sum of cash Parker had borrowed weeks prior.
Parker's 12-year-old stepdaughter recorded the altercation, which disproved Carter's claim of self-defense.
Crystal Parker, the victim's wife, expressed relief and a sense of justice following the verdict, describing her late husband as 'larger than life.'
Carter showed no remorse for his actions during the trial, according to Crystal Parker.
