Former Officer Pleads Guilty in Fatal Shooting

A former police lieutenant, Carlos Uribe, just pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the fatal shooting of 21-year-old Camden Childers during a June chase in Catawba County. Bodycam footage shows Uribe kicking Childers after his motorcycle collided with Uribe’s car, then firing a shot as Childers, already on the ground and unarmed, begged for mercy. Despite Childers having led officers on two prior chases, prosecutors confirmed he posed no threat at the time. Uribe, 29, now faces sentencing in September after initially facing first-degree murder charges — a case that’s sparked national outrage over police accountability and the tragic loss of a young life.
