Cletavion Leshawn Smoke was 12 when he was killed by a single gunshot at a Snider Drive residence in Prichard, Alabama, on August 11, 2024. The death surprised and devastated the local community and the boy’s family.

Investigators focused on a close family member. Law enforcement identified Cletavion’s 16-year-old brother, Jaquavius Hill, as the primary suspect and issued a warrant charging him with reckless manslaughter. After more than a week away from authorities, Hill surrendered; he faced prosecution as an adult and a judge denied bond, noting a juvenile record that included prior probation for possession of a stolen gun. The family held a candlelight vigil for Cletavion, who was remembered for his love of basketball and video games.
