Elizabeth Lauren Smith, 33, of High Point, North Carolina, was fatally shot on May 7, 2018 while attempting to remove some of her belongings from the couple’s home. The shooting happened outside the residence while she was with her two children, ages 9 and 3; the children were reported unharmed. Elizabeth was taken to Moses Cone Hospital in Greensboro and died of her wounds about an hour later.

Authorities say her estranged husband, Alvin Nathanael Smith, 30, emerged and shot her multiple times. He turned himself in the next morning and was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. The incident included an hours-long standoff after the shooting, during which he initially refused to leave the house; he was later found sitting in the lobby of the police department and taken into custody. His first court appearance was scheduled for the day after his arrest.

The couple reportedly had a history of domestic disputes, and the case drew attention because young children were present at the scene. Did anyone in the High Point area know Elizabeth or have information about the events that led up to that day?
