Djuan Smith was 26 when he was shot and killed on October 20, 2014, in a common area of the Beecher Terrace housing complex near West Muhammad Ali Boulevard in Louisville. The shooting, which occurred in the 1100 block of Fisk Court, also wounded another man and prompted an investigation by the Louisville Metro Police Department.

A break in the case came months later. In March 2015 authorities arrested 38-year-old Dojuan Carlos Jefferson on Sundance Drive; a handgun was recovered and Jefferson was charged with murder in Smith’s death, attempted murder for the other victim’s injury, and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, with bond set at $100,000.

Known to family as Suan, Smith was a father of five. He is survived by his children, his mother Hazel Smith, his father Curtis Quisenberry, and siblings. Funeral services were held at King Solomon Baptist Church and he was buried at Green Meadows Cemetery.
