Jennifer Crystal Smith, 25, was found dead in her Charlotte home on October 30, 2012, along with a 25-year-old co-worker, Luc Eric Gonzalez. Both victims died of fatal gunshot wounds. Jennifer’s 2-year-old son, Javian Isaiah Forrest, was in the home at the time and was unharmed.

Investigators identified Jennifer’s ex-boyfriend, Jacquece Forest, as the primary suspect. Earlier the same day Jennifer reported seeing Forest in the woods behind her house and police searched the area but found nothing. Forest was later stopped for speeding, ran to an apartment and was taken into custody; while in custody he allegedly told hospital staff he had shot Jennifer. Forest was charged with two counts of murder. Friends said the couple’s tumultuous relationship had strained efforts to make things work for their son.

Does anyone have information about Jennifer’s life in Charlotte or the relationship that could help clarify what happened?
