J-Shun Smith, known as Pooh Pooh and Gingerbread, was shot and killed outside KJ’s Nightclub in Panama City, Florida, on June 9, 2014. He was 19 and was sitting in the passenger seat of an SUV when an argument over a girl that began inside the club moved into the parking lot. The shooting happened about 3:20 a.m.; Smith was struck in the head.

The shooter, identified as Khiry Ross, fled the scene with two other men. Ross was later arrested and initially charged with second-degree murder; those charges were amended to manslaughter with a firearm. He pleaded no contest and received a 12-year prison term plus three years of probation. Witnesses said Ross admitted to the shooting and planned to claim self-defense. The firearm was not recovered; investigators say Ross allegedly disposed of it in a pond.

Smith’s death was among a spike in gun-related fatalities in Bay County that summer, described as one of ten fatal shootings over a three-month period. Anyone who knew Smith or saw what happened that night is asked to share information with investigators.
