Reginald Smith, a 61-year-old African American man from Cleveland, died of a gunshot on November 16, 2019. The shooting occurred at a convenience store near the 14400 block of Euclid Avenue in East Cleveland. Authorities later identified 39-year-old Dwight Harris as a suspect and the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force issued a warrant listing him as armed and dangerous.

Separately, Smith had survived an earlier April 2019 shooting at a city garage in which former Cleveland streets department employee Aisha Schwartz shot him with his own gun; Schwartz was later sentenced to 9 to 12 years in prison. Smith had been terminated from the streets department days before that April shooting for bringing a loaded gun to work, a violation of city policy. Schwartz said she did not know why she shot Smith, and no clear motive for that attack was determined.

The reasons behind the November killing remained unclear and left family, friends, and colleagues seeking answers. If anyone has information about the East Cleveland convenience store shooting on November 16, 2019, please come forward to investigators.
