Shonda Smith, 37, was shot and killed at her Jacksonville, Florida home on Diamond Leaf Drive in the early hours of May 9, 2018. Her live-in boyfriend, Jeremy Murkey, admitted to the shooting and drove Smith to an emergency room on 103rd Street; she died at the hospital. Two children were in the home and they called 911.

Murkey was arrested and charged with murder after telling officers they could put him in jail.

Smith’s death left children as witnesses and brought attention to the dangers victims face even after seeking legal protection. Can anyone who knew Smith or the family provide more information about what happened that night or about her life in Jacksonville?
