Robert Leonard Hatton, a 45-year-old African American cook from Daytona Beach, died in Orlando on November 2, 2018. Funeral services were held November 17, 2018, at RJ Gainous Funeral Home. Initial reports did not give a clear cause of death, but investigators determined his death was not from natural causes and pursued a criminal investigation.

Authorities eventually identified several suspects. One of those, 38-year-old Jeremy Jamal Smith, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. Smith was reportedly connected to unrelated cocaine possession and distribution investigations and declined to cooperate in a detectives’ interview. The Office of the Public Defender is representing him and the trial is ongoing.

Does anyone have information about Hatton’s last movements or contacts in late October and early November 2018?
