Corey Smith, 46, was the head football coach at Miami Senior High School and was found shot to death in his Miami-Dade home on September 21, 2020. Authorities say a 15-year-old boy who had previously lived with Smith was the only other person in the house; that teen was arrested after telling his mother he had killed Smith and later was charged with second-degree murder and grand theft. Officers recovered a 9mm Beretta pistol and six spent shell casings inside the home, plus about $7,500 in cash bundled in rubber bands among the teen’s belongings; Smith’s wife confirmed Smith owned the pistol and often kept large sums of money in rubber bands in their bedroom.

The teen told investigators he had been in a bathroom when he heard gunshots and then found Smith unresponsive in the den; he did not call 911 but alerted his mother, who called police. The youth was placed in juvenile detention and ordered to undergo psychological evaluation after reports he had been declared incompetent multiple times in the prior two years. Authorities say they are not seeking any other suspects.

The case has drawn media attention because the teen is the son of Lamar Alexander, who was implicated in a December 2019 Coral Gables jewelry store heist that ended in a deadly shootout. Does anyone have information about Smith’s final day or what led to the shooting?
