Howard Smith, 42, was found dead around 3 a.m. on a Tuesday in Mableton, Georgia, near Bonanza Trail and the SAE School. He had sustained a fatal gunshot wound to the head. The discovery on Mableton Parkway led to an active police scene and traffic delays that morning.

By that same evening Cobb County police arrested 44-year-old Tyrone Gantt of Austell and charged him with murder and aggravated assault in connection with Smith’s death. Police say Gantt had been with Smith and another unidentified person on the Monday evening before Smith’s body was found, and investigators believe the shooting occurred between 2:30 and 3 a.m. No clear motive has been released. Gantt was booked into the Cobb County jail and is being held without bond. This was reported as the second homicide in South Cobb that year.

If anyone was in the area of Bonanza Trail or Mableton Parkway that night or knew Smith’s movements, can you share information that might help investigators?
