Raymond Lamont Smith, 32, also known as Ricky Beeks, was killed in Milwaukee in 1990 after an encounter with Jeffrey Dahmer. Historical accounts generally place the killing on May 20, 1990, though an amended complaint described it more broadly as occurring during the spring or early summer of 1990. Dahmer said he met Smith at the 219 Club, invited him to Apartment 213 at the Oxford Apartments, drugged his drink, strangled him after Smith lost consciousness, then dismembered the body and later kept Smith’s painted skull among other remains.

Detectives ultimately identified Smith’s skull by comparing it to dental records. Evidence tied to Smith, including material from the skull and teeth, was submitted for laboratory testing and he was named in the August 6, 1991 homicide charges filed against Dahmer. Dahmer later admitted responsibility for the Wisconsin killings, pleaded guilty but insane to 15 counts, was found legally sane by a jury, and received consecutive life sentences; Smith’s death was charged and prosecuted as a first-degree intentional homicide attributed to Dahmer.

Did anyone who knew Raymond Smith, or who was at the 219 Club around that spring or early summer of 1990, come forward with information at the time?
