Floyd Lewright Smith Jr, a 26-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on June 15, 2017, at an apartment complex in the 1800 block of Cantwell Court near Raleigh Boulevard in Raleigh, North Carolina. Police responded just before 4 p.m. and found Smith and another individual with multiple gunshot wounds; Smith died at the scene and the second victim was taken to WakeMed.

Investigators say the shooting began as a robbery. Smith and the other victim had met 20-year-old Daquan Tyrek Martin at a gas station; Martin agreed to help them buy narcotics and led them to the Raleigh North Apartments. There, Martin and 21-year-old Derrick Lamont Jones allegedly attempted to rob them and both victims were shot. Witnesses reported hearing shots and seeing a car crash into a tree; one witness found an unresponsive shooting victim in the car with a gunshot wound to the head.

Derrick Lamont Jones was charged with murder and attempted first-degree murder and held at the Wake County Detention Center. Daquan Tyrek Martin was charged with one count each of murder and attempted first-degree murder; investigators recovered text messages between Martin and his girlfriend discussing the homicide and events leading up to it. Did anyone in the Raleigh area see or hear anything that night that could help clarify what happened?
