<div class="mobile-gallery-icon">Very few details about Carter&#8217;s death have been released, but one source said that he was killed by a gun that was going to be used in an upcoming music video shoot.<br />
Loved ones said Carter spent a lot of time recording music at Enclave Recording Studios in northeast Houston and was finishing up his new solo album when he died.<br />
He had released at least six songs since late 2018, including hits Wouldn&#8217;t Know and RUN.<br />
Triple Threat Management intends to release the rest of his music, with the proceeds going to his family, including his young daughter.<br />
Carter&#8217;s mother, Cindy McClellan, told ABC 13: &#8216;His music was his world. He was always there for everybody.&#8217;<br />
The family has asked Veterans Affairs to cover expenses for the former service member&#8217;s funeral, a post on his Facebook page says.<br />
Funding approval could take several weeks so relatives have asked for donations to be sent to beehere04@gmail.com.</div>
