He was 35 years old.

As it was reported by Fox News, the details about the death are a little fuzzy in the publicized information. But the gun that killed Justin Carter was the same one that was used on set during the production of his latest music video, and it's believed that the loaded weapon was supposed to be a prop in the video, but it took a turn for the worse when it was accidentally fired, resulting in the death of the musician.

To make the news even more tragic, Justin Carter was considered a musician on the rise by his peers and his fans. The musical artist released his album, Love Affair, with Nu Breed shortly before his passing, and it was clear that Carter was working hard to make videos and promote his brand when this accident occurred. Furthermore, he signed a deal with Triple Threat Management and he was looking to make a name of himself in the competitive world of country music. Here's what Mark Atherton of Triple Threat said to the press about his client's untimely death.
