A reward is now on the table for anyone who can help track down Dachelle Carter, a 29-year-old Cleveland woman wanted in connection with a deadly hit-and-run that investigators say started as a car accident and ended with a woman run over in the street. The Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force says Carter is known to frequent the Cleveland area and is urging anyone with information to come forward.
According to Cleveland 19 News, the task force is offering a reward for information that will lead to Carter's arrest. The outlet reports that Carter is wanted by the Cleveland Division of Police and the U.S. Marshals for vehicular homicide, and describes her as standing 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighing approximately 135 pounds.
Those descriptors mark a shift from how Carter was described in an earlier report tied to the same case. Back in January, Cleveland 19 News described Carter as 5 feet 4 inches tall and 120 pounds, and said she was wanted on a single count of murder, with other charges possibly still to come. The two reports do not reconcile on Carter's physical description or the exact charge she currently faces, and it is not clear from available reporting whether the vehicular-homicide description now being used reflects an updated charging decision or simply different phrasing of the same case.
What Investigators Say Happened in November 2025
The alleged crime traces back to November 17, 2025, when Carter was involved in a car accident with a woman identified as Heaven Alisha Sharell Williams, according to Crime Stoppers of Cuyahoga County as cited by the same January report. Investigators allege that after the crash, Carter attacked Williams before getting back into her car and running Williams over. Williams did not survive, according to that report.
Ohio law addresses vehicular homicide in the Ohio Revised Code.
How to Submit a Tip
Anyone with information on Carter's whereabouts is encouraged to contact the task force at 1-866-4WANTED. Tipsters can also submit a web tip through the U.S. Marshals' website, and those who come forward may remain anonymous.
