Country singer Justin Carter has died after accidentally shooting himself while on the set of a music video, RadarOnline.com has learned.

His mother, Cindy McClellan, told Fox News that the musician was filming in Houston, Texas this Saturday, March 16, when the gun — which was being used as a prop — “went off and caught my son in the corner of his eye.”

His death came just as he was about to hit the road on a 10-state tour after being signed to Triple Threat Management. On March 9, he released his last song, “Love Affair.” He was 35.
