Antonio Martez Smith, a 30-year-old Black man from Birmingham, Alabama, died at UAB Hospital on January 20, 2010, after lingering for a month following a violent robbery and shooting at his home on 18th Place Southwest on December 20, 2009. The gunshot wounds suffered in that home-invasion-style attack are described as the direct cause that led to his death. Investigators treated the death as a homicide, and because his death occurred in January it was recorded among Birmingham’s early homicides for 2010.

His obituary names a daughter, two sons, his mother, and siblings, and records a funeral service held January 30, 2010, at West End AOH Church of God with burial at Elmwood Cemetery. If anyone knew Antonio, his family, or has information about the December 20, 2009 robbery and shooting, please come forward.
