Theron Crawford, a 48-year-old Black man, was shot and killed in Dallas, Texas, on June 1, 2020. Officers responding to a morning shooting on the 5200 block of Colonial Avenue found Crawford outside a home with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to a hospital and died of his injuries.

Investigators reported Crawford had been involved in a confrontation with a woman named Michelle Nwachi, known as Shay, who was trying to collect a $50 drug debt. Kenvairiay Jevera Smith became involved in the altercation, exchanged heated words with Crawford, and then shot him multiple times. Others at the scene fled while Crawford lay bleeding.

Smith was arrested, tried in Criminal District Court No. 3 of Dallas County, convicted of murder after the prosecution introduced text messages from Smith’s phone that included confessions, and received a 65-year prison sentence with an affirmative deadly weapon finding.
