A jury convicted a Hammond man Thursday for killing his girlfriend inside her home. Anthony Carr, 41, was charged with 31-year-old Brittany Smith’s Dec. 3, 2022 murder. He pleaded guilty to a habit…
He pleaded guilty to a habitual offender enhancement, which would add more time to his sentence. Prosecutors dropped a separate gun enhancement. The jury deliberated for two hours.In closing arguments Thursday, Deputy Prosecutor Tara Villarreal said the case was about “love, murder and lies” with “jealousy” allegedly fueling Carr’s motive.
For example, a neighbor testified he heard shots sometime between 7:30-8 a.m. He wasn’t entirely sure and it likely was closer to 8 a.m., but possibly later. Cell phone location data appears to show Carr left the area around 7:23 a.m. Witnesses told police Smith had dated Carr for about 5 to 6 months. He lived there shortly and had threatened her and kicked down her back door several weeks back.Carr told police he and Smith dropped off her kids at her mother’s house the night before for a “date night.” When they went back to Smith’s house, they argued and he got a friend to give him a ride. Carr claimed he partied at the friend’s house, then woke up at 6 a.m. Dec. 3.
