Darryl Tarzan Smith, 29, was fatally shot on August 13, 2020, in a brazen daytime attack while sitting in a car near Grand Army Plaza in Brooklyn. The NYPD investigation found he sustained multiple gunshot wounds and his death was ruled a homicide.

Smith was a father of two and remembered by family as caring and generous; his sister Laticia Smith said he would readily help people. He was also passionate about Mixed Martial Arts and spent time training and mentoring others. Authorities arrested a 15-year-old male and charged him with murder and criminal possession of a weapon; the motive had not been made clear as the inquiry continued.

Did anyone in the area see or hear anything that day that might help explain why Smith was targeted?
