Arian Smith, a 32-year-old African American father of three, was found shot to death on the kitchen floor of his home in the Ashburn neighborhood of Chicago on September 27, 2016. He sustained a fatal gunshot wound to the head. There were no signs of forced entry, and investigators have said the circumstances suggest the shooter may have been someone Smith knew or trusted.

Smith had passed both the written and physical exams for the Chicago Police Department and was working toward joining the force. His family describes him as devoted to his children, ages 6, 3, and 2, and as someone who enjoyed life and pursued ambitious goals. No arrests have been announced and the case remains under investigation.

If anyone knew Arian, his routines, visitors to his home, or has information about that night, please share what you know with the Chicago Police Department.
