The report came shortly after police in Portland, Oregon, booked the three suspects on murder warrants in the death of Steve Carter.

The three are suspected of killing Carter.

According to Marin County Sheriff Doug Pittman, the weapon believed to have been used in Carter’s murder was recovered during the course of the arrests.

The suspects were arrested in Portland after authorities allegedly tracked them travelling in the victim’s car.

Carter’s wife Lokita is undergoing treatment for breast cancer. On a GoFundMe page, she wrote that she was “shattered, shocked and enraged” by her husband’s death.
