Christopher Smith, a 37-year-old man from Decatur, Illinois, was critically wounded and later died after a shooting in Farmersville, Illinois, following a first date on the night before Thanksgiving 2021. First responders found Smith with a bullet lodged in his brain; a woman identified as Leslie Reeves was found dead at the scene with a gunshot wound to the head. Smith was barely conscious and unable to give details about what happened.

The house showed signs of a violent struggle: broken glass in a side door, a kitchen in disarray with the refrigerator pulled away from the wall, knocked-over chairs, and blood throughout the kitchen. No weapon was found at the scene, and investigators suspected a third party may have been involved.

Smith underwent brain surgery and a medically induced coma. When he regained consciousness he had no memory of the shooting or the date, and he was left partially paralyzed, requiring extensive physical therapy. Bobby Tarr was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and attempted murder; the prosecution said Tarr had a motive to kill Reeves and Smith and a jury later found Tarr guilty.

If anyone knew Christopher, Leslie Reeves, or saw anything around that Farmersville residence on the night before Thanksgiving 2021, please share information.
