Michael Smith, 27, was found dead in his Saint-Louis, Missouri, home on September 30, 2018, after neighbors reported hearing gunshots. Police discovered he had multiple gunshot wounds and opened a homicide investigation.

Detectives canvassed the area, interviewed witnesses and reviewed nearby surveillance to reconstruct Michael’s last hours. Investigators say he’d been in a heated argument with someone shortly before the shooting; forensic evidence from the scene later linked a known associate with a history of violent behavior to the killing. That person was arrested, charged and later convicted at trial.

Michael’s family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the convicted individual; the civil case was settled out of court. Does anyone have information about Michael’s life in Saint-Louis or about what happened that night?
