What happened
Ronnie Dubose Carr, 51, was killed by a Dallas, North Carolina, police sergeant on December 15, 2015, during a pursuit connected to a reported fraudulent-check investigation at an Ingles grocery store. Authorities said Carr drove away while police attempted to detain two other people, struck a patrol car and drove toward Sergeant Paul Albergine, who fired. The local news account identifies the victim as Ronnie Dubose Carr, whereas the Fatal Force directory record uses Ronnie Dubose Carter; that name discrepancy needs confirmation against original records before public correction. Officers were placed on administrative leave while the State Bureau of Investigation reviewed the shooting. The suspected fraud of other individuals should not be presented as proof that Carr committed the offenses.
