Kadeem Smith was 23 when he was killed on the porch of his family’s apartment in the Bella Grande community in Pembroke Pines, Florida, in the early morning of March 19, 2019. After finishing a shift at a local restaurant, he arrived home around 12:20 a.m., told his brother he feared someone had followed him, and was later seen peeking from the kitchen window before stepping onto the outside porch. Minutes later multiple gunshots rang out; family members found him unresponsive on the patio. He had been shot multiple times, including in the back, and died there before help could arrive. Loved ones remembered him as ambitious and kind, a Charles W. Flanagan High School graduate who attended Broward College and had enlisted in the U.S. Army before an injury ended his training early.

Pembroke Pines police investigated, reviewed security footage that may show a car following Kadeem into the complex, and identified a suspect within days. By March 22, 2019, 19-year-old Bryan Carl Fenders Bernadelle had been arrested and charged with premeditated murder and was held without bond. Does anyone have information about Kadeem’s movements that night or about the vehicle seen on the cameras?
