On March 28, 2011, 21-year-old Stephanie Leann Smith was shot while seated in a car on the 3400 block of Park Avenue South in Minneapolis. Smith, an African-American student studying psychology at Minneapolis Community and Technical College, was in the vehicle with a 28-year-old man when gunfire erupted. Both occupants were struck; the man survived with non-life-threatening wounds but Smith died after being taken to a nearby hospital.

Neighbors reported hearing shots and seeing an SUV speed away. One witness said two men walked toward that SUV as two other people stood outside the vehicle just before the shooting. Family and friends described Smith as generous, warm, loving, and funny and set up a memorial at the scene. Investigators opened a homicide probe and later offered a reward; no arrests have been publicly announced.

Does anyone who was in the area that night or who knew Stephanie have information that could help bring clarity to what happened?
