On May 3, 2025, in the 100 block of Dunn Circle in Troy, Alabama, Nyreesh Amari Smith was shot and killed during a large party police were dispersing after a noise complaint. Smith, who was shot just hours before his 20th birthday, suffered several gunshot wounds. Officers rendered first aid and arriving medics performed CPR, but he died at the scene before he could be transported to a hospital.

The gathering that night drew between 100 and 250 people, yet investigators say few witnesses have come forward. The Troy Police Department, Pike County Coroner’s Office, Pike County Sheriff’s Office and the Pike County District Attorney’s Office all opened an investigation. Adrian Demond Moultry Jr., 22, of Troy, was arrested and charged with murder; he was processed at Troy City Jail and transferred to the Pike County Jail held without bond pending an Aniah’s Law hearing.

What information about the shooting or those present that night can help investigators move this case forward?
