MASERATI RICK'S BROTHER SLAIN BY LONE GUNMAN WOMAN ALSO
SHOT, KILLED

The older brother of slain cocaine figure Richard (Maserati Rick) Carter and a woman were shot
to death Monday morning by a lone gunman outside a northeast Detroit home, police said.
At 10:20 a.m., the gunman approached Clyde Carter, 34, and Patricia Scott, 26, and opened fire
as the pair stood on Lannette near Leroy, east of Chalmers, police said.
Carter was shot in the head and Scott in the stomach. Both were dead on arrival at St. John
Hospital . The pair's 1-year- old child, who was with them, was uninjured, police said.
Homicide Inspector Gerald Stewart said investigators do not yet have a motive in the crime, but
that "it certainly wasn't a robbery."
No immediate arrests were made, Stewart said.
In 1988, Clyde Carter's brother, Richard, was shot to death in his hospital bed at Mt. Carmel
Mercy Hospital , where he had been recovering from bullet wounds he suffered in an earlier
ambush. Reputed hit man Lodrick Parker, who also was injured in the earlier gun battle, was
charged with Maserati Rick's killing.
Parker was acquitted on the charge, and is in Wayne County Jail awaiting trial in separate cases
on charges of assault with intent to murder and arson.
In 1987, Clyde Carter paid $10,000 cash to bail out his brother, who was held on an attempted
murder charge. But the money was seized after a drug-sniffing dog detected traces of cocaine.
Stewart said investigators did not know if drugs were involved in Monday's killings. The state
Department of Corrections said neither victim has a criminal record.
People outside the home where the shooting occurred declined comment, except for a woman
who identified herself as Clyde Carter's mother. She said only that Clyde Carter and Patricia
Scott lived in the home.
