Joseph Smith was a 34-year-old Black man who died from gun violence on Friday, January 9, 2015, in the St. Claude neighborhood of New Orleans.

An obituary for a Joseph Smith Sr. who also died on January 9, 2015, in New Orleans lists surviving family but omits age and cause of death, so it cannot be confidently tied to the homicide described. Beyond the date, location, age, race, and that the death resulted from gun violence, details about what happened and whether anyone was held accountable are not available.

If anyone knew Joseph Smith or has information about the shooting in St. Claude on January 9, 2015, please share what can help resolve this case.
