Raekwon Smith, a 20-year-old African American man, was fatally shot on August 2, 2017, while sitting on the front porch of his home in High Point, North Carolina. The shooting happened at about 1:10 a.m. when a black sedan stopped near the residence and opened fire; Smith was struck in the chest and later pronounced dead at Moses Cone Hospital.

Witnesses said the passenger of the black sedan exited the vehicle and began shooting before fleeing. The neighborhood had seen other recent violent incidents, and Smith’s death became part of a spate of shootings that left residents fearful and frustrated. High Point Police say the motive is unclear and investigators have been following leads, but no arrests have been announced.

Anyone who was in the area that night or who has information about the black sedan or the shooter is asked to contact the High Point Police Department with tips.
