DA: Thug who killed innocent teen also planned to kill a witness

Accused killer looking for love:
Antwan Carter is advertising from behind bars for some sexy ladies with whom to correspond:
"I don't have time for little kid games and I hate liars. So I treat people how I want to be treated."

Antwan Carter and Daniel Pinckney, Jr. were arraigned yesterday on first-degree murder charges for the March 14 death of Cedirick Steele - shot repeatedly in broad daylight as he waited to meet his mother to go buy a cell phone.

The Suffolk County District Attorney's office said Carter was also indicted yesterday on a count of intimidation of a witness; prosecutors alleged he tried - from behind bars - to get friends to murder a woman who was in the car with him and Pinckney when they murdered Steele. The two pleaded innocent to their charges; both were ordered held without bail.

At their arraignment, Assistant District Attorney Paul Treseler charged Carter and Pinckney were out for revenge after an acquaintance of theirs from the Mass. Ave. Hornets gang was shot in Roxbury - but that they had no particular target in mind:

Shortly before 4:00 p.m. on the day of the murder, Carter, Pinckney, and another individual were riding in Pinckney's black Pontiac in the area of Highland Avenue when they got into an altercation with another group of men. They drove a short distance, Treseler said, before Pinckney pulled over, gave Carter a gun, and instructed him on what to do next.

"Put it in your hoodie," Treseler said. "Take these gloves and put them on. Sneak up on them and shoot. Get anybody."

And so they ran across Steele, a college student and Meals on Wheels volunteer standing in front of Timilty Middle School waiting for his mom, Treseler said:

Taking the gun, Carter got out of the car and headed for Steele. He fired seven shots, striking Steele in the face, torso, and neck before returning to the car. The two men drove off.

The Suffolk County Distict Attorney's office says a woman was in the car with Carter and Pinckney - and that officials intercepted phone calls and letters from Carter at MCI-Shirley, where he was serving a one-year sentence for armed robbery, to his gang pals:

"We need to make her history," Carter allegedly said to associates in a series of letters and telephone conversations that investigators had intercepted. "If she's alive, I'm doing life."

Pinckney is now at MCI-Cedar Junction, where he continues to seek "sexy ladies" with whom to correspond.
