Anubius Smith was 18 when he was found shot dead on February 27, 2019, in Charlotte, North Carolina. He was discovered inside a vehicle on Grandin Road alongside 17-year-old Ibn Marshall, who was also killed; a third person in the vehicle survived despite being shot. Drugs were reported at the scene.

Two 23-year-old men, Furqan Grice and Anthony Goodson, were arrested on February 28, 2019, and charged with murder. Several years later the Mecklenburg County district attorney’s office dismissed the murder charges against both men without leave, and the killings had not proceeded to trial.

The case leaves open questions about what happened on Grandin Road that night and why the charges were dismissed. Anyone who knew Anubius, Ibn, or who has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
