Wayne Smith was recorded as dying on December 3, 2009, at age 42 at an address on the 2200 block of East Fayette Street in Baltimore. Records list him as a shooting victim from 1998, so his 2009 death appears to be the delayed outcome of injuries sustained more than a decade earlier rather than a newly inflicted wound that day.

The official entry provides only the date, age, location, and the note that he was shot in 1998; it does not identify any suspect or describe an arrest, charge, trial, or conviction connected to his death. That lack of narrative leaves a long gap between the moment of the shooting and the calendar marking of his death, a period that the available record does not fill in.

Does anyone have information about Wayne Smith’s life after the 1998 shooting or about circumstances at the East Fayette Street address in 2009?
