Terrell L. Smith, 25, was found fatally shot five times on October 30, 2014, near his still-running abandoned car on Bicycle Road in western Tallahassee. His phone, recovered inside the vehicle, linked him to a number belonging to Shelton Mitchell, who became the investigation’s primary suspect.

Investigators used phone triangulation and forensic evidence to connect Mitchell to the scene. Almost 10 ounces of marijuana packaged for sale were found in a bedroom where Mitchell had been staying; Smith’s fingerprint was lifted from the Tupperware container and Mitchell’s DNA was recovered from one of the baggies. A witness said Mitchell talked about robbing a drug dealer and later admitted to robbing and shooting a man identified as Smith. Prosecutors sought first-degree murder and armed robbery charges, but the jury convicted Mitchell of manslaughter. He was sentenced to remain in the Leon County Jail and a case management conference was scheduled.

Does anyone have information about Smith’s activities in Tallahassee around late October 2014 or witnessed events on Bicycle Road that night?
