On the evening of April 26, 2018, 38-year-old Jacquire Lafayette Douglas was shot and killed in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, during a domestic confrontation. Jacquire was with a woman when her ex-boyfriend, identified as Kelvin Ike Smith, arrived and an altercation escalated; Smith allegedly produced a firearm and shot both the woman and Jacquire. The woman survived with injuries while Jacquire’s wounds were fatal.

Law enforcement investigated the shooting and quickly focused on Smith as the primary suspect. The day after the incident, 40-year-old Kelvin Ike Smith surrendered to the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff’s Office, was arrested and booked, and was charged with one count of murder for Jacquire’s death and one count of attempted murder for the woman’s injuries.

Anyone who knew Jacquire, the circumstances that night, or who has information relevant to this case is asked to come forward.
