Police Search For Man Seen On Video Killing Woman, Wounding Another

POSTED: Tuesday, April 29, 2008

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Fort Lauderdale police have released video of a man suspected of fatally shooting a woman and wounding another during an apparent domestic dispute Sunday.

Kevin Cartwright, 39, is wanted in connection with the shootings of Shanesa Conway and Shameca Davis.

The shootings occurred shortly after 1:30 p.m. at 716 NW 14th Terrace.

According to police, Conway and Davis were in the red car seen on the video. Police said the video shows Cartwright arguing with the women when he leaned into the window of the car and pulled a gun, shooting Conway in the neck. She was later pronounced dead at Broward General Medical Center.

The video then shows Davis, Cartwright's ex-girlfriend, begin to run away, but she is shot in the leg. Davis was hospitalized but is expected to survive.

Detectives said they believe Cartwright's gun might have jammed, saving Davis' life. The video shows Cartwright run off camera, return and pistol-whip her. He is seen driving away in a gold Chevrolet with 24-inch rims.

At one point in the video, a woman is seen removing a baby from the back seat of the car. Police said the baby is Cartwright's child.

Police said Cartwright has a lengthy arrest record, including charges of aggravated assault and battery.

Several witnesses can be seen in the video. Anyone with information is asked to call Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS.
