Aaron Carter

Alleged murderer, Aaron Carter, thought he was leaving jail after paying bond

Alleged Gremlin gang member Aaron Carter thought he was about to leave the Vermilion Parish jail after posting a reduced bond of $25,000 for allegedly murdering an Abbeville teen in 2018.
Instead of becoming a free man after posting the bond, Carter was held in the parish jail and arrested by the Rayne police for a murder he is accused of committing in 2015.
The police first arrested Carter in 2015 for the alleged killing of Christopher Trent of Rayne. Trent, who was 32 years old at the time of his death, was shot multiple times in March of 2015.
For the last year, however, Carter has been in the Vermilion Parish jail for the alleged murder of 16-year-old Chazton Guidry. His bond was $500,000. But last week, his bond was reduced to $25,000 by Judge Ed Broussard. It was unknown by the Abbeville Meridional why his bond was reduced.
Before Carter allegedly murdered Guidry in 2018, he was already charged with second degree murder for allegedly murdering Christopher Trent in Rayne in 2015.
Carter was released in 2015 when he made bond and that case has yet to go to trail.
The Rayne Police Department had a hold on Carter as long as he was in the Vermilion Parish jail.
When he paid his lower bond, the Rayne Police arrested Carter while he was still in the Vermilion Parish jail Thursday.
He was booked into the Acadia Parish jail on the original 2015 second-degree murder charge, and his new bail was set at $750,000. It was unknown why he was re-arrested for the alleged 2015 murder.
