Derrick Devante Smith, 24, was shot and killed on May 28, 2017, in the Holly Heights neighborhood of Gainesville, Florida. Deputies responded around 7:11 p.m. to Southwest 67th Terrace and found Smith with gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead later that evening at UF Health Shands Hospital.

Investigators say an 18-year-old, Ty’Lek Scarborough, allegedly carried out the shooting. Witnesses reported Scarborough had earlier driven through the neighborhood saying he would shoot up the place, a comment some dismissed. Smith was standing about 15 feet away when he was struck. Rumors tied the killing to an earlier altercation in the Tower Oaks area, but the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office said it had not recovered evidence of any prior shooting and Smith and his family were not involved in that earlier fight.

Ty’Lek Scarborough surrendered on June 1, 2017; his 17-year-old brother, James Scarborough, was also arrested and charged with first-degree murder. Smith’s family described him as very loving and caring; they prepared for his funeral. Does anyone have information about Smith, the scene on Southwest 67th Terrace that evening, or what led up to the shooting?
