Eighteen-year-old Tyre Smith was last seen on the evening of Saturday, December 3, 2016, in the 4000 block of Duplessis Street in New Orleans. He missed school the following Monday and calls to his cellphone went straight to voicemail, prompting a missing person alert that described him as a Black male about 5 feet 7 inches tall and 142 pounds.

The search ended in the early morning hours of Sunday, December 4, when a body was found in the 1700 block of St. Ann Street in the Treme neighborhood. An autopsy confirmed multiple gunshot wounds; the Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office identified the victim as Tyre Smith on Wednesday, December 7.

Police asked for the public’s help with information about Smith’s movements on Saturday night and Sunday morning.
