Ian Smith was a 44-year-old Caucasian taxi driver killed in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on June 17, 1982. A violent altercation followed and Crump fatally shot Smith; Crump sustained a gunshot wound to his right forearm during the incident.

Smith is listed as the fourth known victim linked to Crump after his escape from the Penitentiary of New Mexico, which prompted an intensified manhunt and led to Crump’s capture. Crump was later charged in New Mexico with first-degree murder and robbery with the use of a deadly weapon in connection with Smith’s death.

Does anyone have memories of that area in Albuquerque in June 1982 or information about Ian Smith’s life and work that could add context to this case?
