Curtis Lovonius Smith, 61, was fatally shot on June 2, 2015, while mowing his lawn in front of his Miami Gardens home in the 17600 block of Northwest 14th Avenue. Smith, a respiratory therapist at Jackson Memorial Hospital, was struck multiple times and died at the scene. Neighbors’ surveillance footage showed two individuals approach Smith and a scuffle before the shooting. Investigators initially considered robbery as a possible motive, but no clear suspect description was available then.

Nearly two years later, 22-year-old Dequentin Thomas was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and armed robbery in connection with the killing. Thomas was already in federal custody on an unrelated matter when linked to this case; a .380 caliber semi-automatic pistol seized during his arrest was matched to shell casings from the scene. The arrest was described as a major development for Smith’s family and the Miami Gardens community.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see activity near Northwest 14th Avenue on June 2, 2015, or have information about the two people seen on the surveillance footage?
