Kevin M. Smith, 47, was found dead in his Shelby, Orleans County, New York home in 2007, the victim of multiple gunshot wounds. Investigators immediately classified the death as a homicide but reported the initial crime scene produced few clues: no clear motive, no weapon recovered, no eyewitnesses, and limited forensic evidence. Detectives noted the attack happened inside Smith’s residence, suggesting the shooter either knew the layout or acted brazenly.

The investigation stalled for several years. In mid-2010 attention turned to Steven Patrick Rebert after his arrest in Pennsylvania for a double homicide and the discovery that his laptop contained numerous searches about three killings: the Pennsylvania double homicide, the 2005 murder of William Bill Fickel in Genesee County, and Smith’s 2007 shooting. Rebert had previously lived on East Shelby Road and owned a .30-30 rifle, the same caliber used in the Fickel killing. Despite these parallels, authorities say they lack direct physical evidence such as ballistics or DNA to charge Rebert in Smith’s death, and no New York arrest or indictment has been announced. The case remains open and unsolved.

Did anyone who knew Kevin or lived on East Shelby Road around 2007 notice anything unusual that year?
