Daquan Samuel Grobsmith, 32, was killed in Syracuse, New York, on Sunday, December 12, 2021. Online memorials say he was lost to gun violence, but official details about the shooting have not been released publicly. There is no available online information about a police investigation, suspects, or arrests connected to his death, and his name does not appear on the Syracuse Police Department lists of unsolved homicides for that period.

Grobsmith had prior interactions with the criminal justice system: in 2016 he was arrested and charged, with another person, in a second-degree murder and weapons case stemming from a fatal shooting on Interstate 81.

He is survived by two children, his parents, and several siblings. What led to his death and the full circumstances of the shooting remain undisclosed — anyone with information is asked to come forward.
