On the evening of Thursday, June 26, 2025, a single gunshot brought officers to the 200 block of North Virginia Avenue in Atlantic City. A 911 call just before 9 p.m. reported a man lying motionless on the sidewalk outside the Shore Park apartments. Officers found 40-year-old Robert Stanley Davis unresponsive with a gunshot wound to the head; he was pronounced dead at the scene. The Southern Regional Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the cause of death a gunshot wound and classified it a homicide.

Investigators from the Atlantic City Police Department’s Violent Crimes Unit and the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office’s Major Crimes Unit followed leads to a suspect, 37-year-old Kelsey Smith of Atlantic City. Surveillance personnel had reported two men in black fleeing the area after the shooting. While officers were searching, they encountered Smith, who was reportedly screaming loudly on his phone and had a suspicious bulge in his jacket. Smith was arrested on July 11, 2025, and charged with murder and unlawful possession of a weapon.

Does anyone have information about Davis’s movements that evening or saw activity near Shore Park apartments around 9 p.m. on June 26?
