Maurenzo Tdiddy Smith, 44, of Houston was shot and killed on July 27, 2022, at The Crab Station Oyster Bar in northwest Harris County while accompanying a friend who was meeting her estranged husband to discuss a divorce agreement. Family members say Smith went to help because the woman had told him she feared her husband. During the discussion the husband shot Smith multiple times; the husband was taken into custody, placed on life support, and later died of his injuries. Authorities did not publicly name the suspect and investigators expected murder charges if the suspect had survived.

Smith’s family describe him as a loving, kind, and helpful man, a heavyweight boxer and the father of four. A GoFundMe was started to help cover funeral expenses. The shooting left Smith’s family and friends grieving and remembering his positive impact.

Anyone who was at The Crab Station Oyster Bar that evening or who has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
