History[]
Season 6[]
Carter and his father are first seen when Croop receives a phone call from Rashad Tate to come all the way from Washington DC to New York to kill James St. Patrick, beforehand Carter and his father Croop go and kill a rapist pedophile named Frankie. Carter is eager to torture the victim but messes up and Croop has to shoot him in the back of the head. Croop and Carter come all the way to New York but Tate tries to cancel the hit as he heard the FBI are on to Ghost. Carter and Croop don't like it and accuses him of hiring someone else. Carter watches as Croop tells him that he wants to get the job done or he will kill Tate otherwise. Reluctantly, Tate then gives them the okay to kill Ghost. Croop and Carter wait near Truth nightclub and follow Ghost to his meeting to see Tommy Egan, however they get in position to assassinate Ghost. Carter took the first shot but fails to hit him, Ghost and Tommy team up while Ghost covers Tommy to kill them. Carter's father covers him, while ushering him to get away. Carter watched in horror, as Tommy kills Croop before making his escape.
Distraught at his loss, Carter calls Tate cursing him for his father's death. Tate quickly ends the call, despite Carter’s threats. Out for blood, he tracks Tate to the home of his brother. Once Rashad comes outside while taking out trash, Carter makes his move and confronts him. Carter blames Tate for everything, not notifying about Tommy despite Tate bringing up how he canceled the hit and how they were insistent. Using his pistol, Carter strikes Tate when he mentions his father again and holds him at gunpoint. Carter wants to get even by promising to take Tate inside the home and watch the slaughter of his family. However, Carter is unnerved when Tate stands defiant to protect his family. This distraction allows Tate's brother Kamaal (who previously heard yelling) to shoot him in the back, killing him instantly.
Rashad covers up the death by calling it a robbery. Tate was brought into the station, as the brothers are congratulated since they did a background check on Carter and his father.
