Ron’s Attempted Murder of Carl
Ron’s hatred for Carl reached its peak when a horde of walkers invaded Alexandria and threatened to overrun the community. Ron saw this as an opportunity to kill Carl and make it look like an accident. He followed Carl into a garage and locked the door behind them. He then pulled out a gun that he had stolen from Rick and aimed it at Carl. He accused Carl of stealing Enid from him and said that Rick was a killer who deserved to die. Carl tried to reason with Ron, but Ron refused to listen. He pulled the trigger, but the gun jammed. Carl then tackled Ron and disarmed him. He told Ron that he was not his enemy and that they had to work together to survive. He also said that he did not take Enid from him, but that she chose to be with him. He then let Ron go and told him to come with him.
Ron’s Death and Accidental Shooting of Carl’s Eye
Ron did not heed Carl’s words and continued to harbor resentment for him and Rick. He followed them as they tried to escape from the walkers by covering themselves with walker guts. Along the way, they encountered Jessie, Sam, and Michonne, who joined them in their plan. However, things went wrong when Sam panicked and drew the attention of the walkers, who devoured him alive. Jessie screamed in horror and refused to let go of Sam’s hand, even as the walkers started to bite her as well. Rick had no choice but to chop off Jessie’s hand with his hatchet to free Carl from her grip. Ron witnessed his mother’s death and snapped completely. He blamed Rick for killing his entire family and aimed his gun at him, intending to shoot him in the head. However, before he could pull the trigger, Michonne stabbed him through the chest with her sword, killing him instantly. Unfortunately, as he died, he accidentally fired his gun and hit Carl in the eye, causing him to collapse in pain. Rick picked up Carl and ran to the infirmary, while Michonne finished off the walkers that were attacking them.
