Carter was fatally shot with a gun that was being used as a prop on the set of a music video in Texas, according to ABC 13. He was 35.
His mother Cindy McClellan told Fox News that Carter was filming a music video in Houston on March 16 when a gun in his pocket "went off and caught my son in the corner of his eye."
"He was a wonderful artist," McClellan told the outlet. "He was the voice, he was the total package and we're trying to keep his legend [alive]."
McClellan also spoke of her son's kind heart. "He was a wonderful person, very loving and he loved our God very much," she told Fox News.
