On the evening of December 7th, 2019, Fayetteville police officer Stephen Carr was sitting in his patrol vehicle behind the police station in downtown Fayetteville. It was around 9:40 p.m. on that chilly Saturday evening, when a man with no apparent knowledge of or ties to Stephen would walk up to the patrol vehicle and unleash a hail of gunfire at the 27-year-old officer. Police Chief Mike Reynolds would call it quote “the worst day in the history of the Fayetteville Police Department.” And the impact of the killing would reverberate throughout the local law enforcement community and the public at large for years to come.
