Roderick Smith, 40, was found dead in Orlando, Florida, on July 27, 2016. He suffered multiple gunshot wounds, which were determined to be the cause of death, and investigators treated the case as a potential homicide.

During the investigation several suspects emerged. One primary person of interest identified in reports was J’Morian Bell, described as a gang member with a history of violent behavior and previously involved in a school shooting that seriously injured another student. Bell was later apprehended and charged with attempted murder and weapons offenses in connection with other incidents; his involvement in Smith’s death remained a central issue in the probe as prosecutors presented evidence linking him to the scene and the defense disputed his direct responsibility.

Smith’s family attended hearings and worked with law enforcement while the community followed the case closely. Does anyone have information about Smith’s case or about witnesses from the Orlando area in July 2016?
