Maurice Antoin Smith, 34, was killed on June 9, 2015, on Saint Clair Drive in Temple Hills, Maryland. He was leaving his home in the 2900 block and walking toward the parking lot when as many as three people ambushed him in what police believe was a robbery attempt. One assailant struck Smith with blunt force, and a handgun was produced; a single shot was fired but did not hit anyone. During the struggle for the weapon, Smith collapsed and the attackers fled, leaving him gravely injured.

The DC Medical Examiner’s Office ruled Smith’s death a homicide on October 28, 2015, attributing it to sudden cardiac death brought on by the blunt force injuries sustained in the assault. The Prince George’s County Police Department opened a homicide investigation and offered a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to arrests and indictments. No public report of arrests or suspect identifications has been released.

If anyone knew Maurice, witnessed the attack, or has information about who was involved, please share what you know with investigators.
