Chance O’Neal Smith was 15 when he was fatally shot at a residence in the Algiers neighborhood of New Orleans on the evening of Saturday, August 18, 2018. A freshman at Eleanor McMain Secondary School, he enjoyed music, video games, and designing clothes; his mother recalled him as a cheerful teenager excited about starting high school.

The New Orleans Police Department investigated and arrested 17-year-old Walter Snuff Johnson; he was booked on a count of negligent homicide and said the shooting was an accident. The killing prompted a community peace rally, where friends, family, and neighbors gathered to mourn and call for an end to gun violence.
