Sandra Smith, a 61-year-old Black woman from Montgomery, was fatally shot on October 25, 2020, after police were called to the intersection of South Court Street and Huntley Drive for a person suffering from a gunshot wound. She was taken to a local hospital and later pronounced dead, and Montgomery police opened a murder investigation.

Smith was born September 10, 1959, to Jessie Mae Hardley and Jim Hardley. She earned a degree in Criminal Justice from Troy University in Montgomery, worked as a phlebotomist at Jackson Hospital, and had been described in her obituary as someone who devoted much of her life to caring for her mother. Investigators publicly asked for help after the killing and a $1,000 reward was offered for information leading to an arrest.
