Tony Smith, 47, was found dead of gunshot wounds in his car on a street in Oakland, California, on June 11, 2019. Investigators described the incident as a violent confrontation that appeared to begin as an attempted robbery.

The case produced several arrests. Lee Jackson IV was identified as a key suspect and ultimately charged with murder. Prosecutors said a palm print on Smith’s car matched Jackson, cell tower records placed him near the scene, and a recorded conversation showed Jackson allegedly telling an accomplice to take the blame for the gun. A witness who was an alleged accomplice initially invoked the right against self-incrimination but later testified for the prosecution; the defense challenged that witness’s credibility and suggested fear of losing custody affected her testimony.

Jackson was found guilty of Tony Smith’s murder. Does anyone have information about Smith’s movements that night or about the people who were with him in Oakland on June 11, 2019?
