Jaheem Smith was 17 when he was fatally shot on January 7, 2020, along the 1900 block of Tryon Drive in Fayetteville, North Carolina. He attended St. Pauls High School and was remembered by family and friends for his love of football and rap and for an infectious smile and warm personality. The Fayetteville Police Department’s Homicide Unit opened an investigation into the shooting.

Authorities say the incident also left a woman and another person with serious injuries. A 16-year-old suspect was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, six counts of attempted first-degree murder, and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury; the juvenile’s name has not been released. Investigators sought a maroon Chevrolet SUV that may be connected to the case. A 22-year-old man, Tahlique Devon McKinnon, was identified as a person of interest and later charged with first-degree murder and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury; he was taken into custody and held at the Cumberland County Detention Center without bond.

Does anyone have information about the shooting, the maroon Chevrolet SUV, or Jaheem’s movements that night?
