Marquita LaShone Smith was 19 when she was fatally shot in Wilmington, Delaware, on February 7, 2005. Born September 25, 1985, in Salem, New Jersey, she had lived in Wilmington about nine years and was remembered as a Delaware Tech student, Christiana High School graduate, basketball player, and singer in the Pleasant Cloud Choir at First Seventh Day Adventist Church of Glassboro. She was buried in Evergreen Cemetery in Salem.

Marquita’s death occurred in the same incident that killed 28-year-old Holland Brown; both deaths have been tied to gun violence and were described as a double slaying investigators linked to an apparent robbery. Police eventually focused on Aaron Archy, then 17, and he was accused of the killings, but prosecutors announced in late 2008 that they would not pursue charges in the February 2005 slayings. No public explanation for that decision was given, and no one appears to have been convicted in the Brown and Smith deaths.

Did anyone who knew Marquita or Holland or who was in Wilmington that night come forward with information?
