Charles Edward Smith Jr., 36, was killed on June 26, 2017, outside an apartment complex on Benjamin Benson Street in Greensboro, North Carolina. Smith was found with at least one gunshot wound in a vehicle outside the dwelling and was pronounced dead at Moses Cone Hospital.

A 28-year-old woman, Yolanda Michelle Rogers, was also wounded in the same shooting; she was treated and later released from the hospital. Police say Smith was the intended target. Evidence collected at the scene and witness statements produced warrants for Adrian Lamont Hickman, 34.

Hickman was arrested without incident by the Knoxville Police Department at his mother’s home about 1:30 a.m. on June 27, 2017, and charged with first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder. Community cooperation was credited in identifying him; he was held in Knox County Jail awaiting extradition to North Carolina.
