Concealed-Carry Holder Shoots And Kills Alleged Armed Carjacker

A 21-year-old carjacking suspect was shot dead in Milwaukee early Monday when police say his intended victim put to use his concealed gun.

Police Capt. Andra Williams says the 24-year-old man was heading to work shortly before 6am when Carlos Martin [pictured above] allegedly tried to rob him near Milwaukee MachineTool Corporation in the 8800 block of West Fond du Lac Avenue.

The motorist thwarted the carjacking by shooting the 21-year-old suspect with his handgun, for which he has a valid concealed carry permit, according to the authorities.

...Police say Martin, who was a convicted felon, was also armed with a gun at the time of the botched robbery.

...According to online arrest records, despite his young age Martin had been booked into jail on at least four occasions in 2015 and 2016, including on charges of substantial battery and robbery with use of force.
