Marie Lorraine Smith was 32 when she was shot and killed on March 22, 2014, in Athens, California. Deputies responding to gunfire in the parking lot of a liquor store on South Vermont Avenue found Smith with multiple gunshot wounds; she was transported to a hospital and pronounced dead at 10:57 p.m. The Los Angeles County coroner ruled the cause of death gunshot wounds.

Investigators say Smith had an interaction with individuals suspected of involvement in the shooting, but it remained unclear whether she knew them. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Bureau led the investigation and repeatedly asked the public for tips; Crime Stoppers offered anonymity for callers. Despite periodic updates from law enforcement, no immediate arrests were announced and the case remained unsolved for some time.

Anyone who knew Marie, witnessed the shooting, or has information that could help investigators is urged to come forward.
