Officer Sentenced for Deadly Force | Charlotte News

A former Newton police officer, Carlos Alverto Uribe, 29, has been sentenced to 8-10 years for fatally shooting Camden Childers, 21, during a high-speed chase that ended in a cul-de-sac. After Childers surrendered, Uribe kicked him and fired his weapon — leading to Childers’ death. Despite posting $100K bail and being fired from the department, Uribe pleaded guilty to second-degree murder. District Attorney Scott Reilly emphasized that fleeing doesn’t justify deadly force. The court rejected the defense’s plea for mitigation, delivering justice and underscoring that no one is above the law.
