Shaundasia Smith was 16 when she was fatally shot in the head during a sleepover on March 29, 2015, at a home off Jim Hanna Lane just outside Wadesboro, North Carolina. She was taken to Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte and died about 15 hours later. A student at Anson New Tech High School, Shaundasia hoped to study Architectural Engineering in college and was remembered for being outgoing, a leader, and a volleyball enthusiast.

Investigators say 22-year-old Roger Lee Rorie was at the sleepover and allegedly handled a .22 caliber rifle that discharged and struck Shaundasia. Authorities reported no evidence of malice or intent to harm, and the key unanswered question remained how the weapon fired. The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation was asked to assist, in part because Shaundasia was the granddaughter of Anson County Sheriff Landric Reid.

Did anyone in the community attend that sleepover or have information about how the rifle might have discharged?
