SUMMARY: The Mississippi Court of Appeals upheld Antoine Carr's conviction and life sentence for the first-degree murder of Jackson rapper Lonnie Taylor, known as Lil Lonnie. Carr's appeal, which claimed prosecutorial misconduct, was rejected, with the court finding no reversible error. The conviction stems from an April 2018 shooting where Taylor was found shot in a vehicle. Carr, along with Monya Davis and Marshun Carr, were arrested in Texas. Davis also received a life sentence, which he unsuccessfully appealed, while Marshun Carr was sentenced to 18 years. The shooting took place on April 19, 2018, in Jackson, Mississippi.
