His mother, Cindy McClellan, told Fox News that the gun in his pocket “went off and caught my son in the corner of his eye” on Saturday.

Carter leaves behind two young daughters.

"He was a wonderful person, very loving and he loved our God very much," McClellan told the outlet. "He had a Bible in his room, in the den, he had one in his truck. He gave to charities."

She said the family had set up a GoFundMe account to cover funeral costs, as well as transport his body back from Houston to San Antonio.

The management group said that Carter’s music will be released posthumously and proceeds will be given to his family.
