Senior Corporal Norman Stephen Allen Smith, 43, of the Dallas Police Department was killed on January 6, 2009, while attempting to serve an aggravated assault arrest warrant. He and members of the Gang Unit went to an apartment on Wadsworth Drive in Dallas to execute the warrant. When Corporal Smith knocked on the front door, the suspect inside immediately shot him. Fellow officers pulled him to safety but he later died of his injuries.

The Dallas Police SWAT team entered the apartment and arrested three suspects, including the suspected shooter. The shooter was later convicted and given a life sentence. Corporal Smith had served 18 years with the department, was assigned to the Gang Unit and was a United States Marine Corps veteran. He is survived by his wife, who also worked for the Dallas Police Department, and two children. Flags were flown at half-staff at police headquarters in his honor.

What details about that day or the location might someone with local knowledge be able to add to help document Corporal Smith’s final call?
