Larry Carr Jr., 42, was shot outside an apartment building on the 100 block of North Cliff Avenue in Sioux Falls on the night of June 8, 2019, after an altercation erupted outside the complex. Shots struck a small crowd; three people were hit. Carr was wounded in the torso, fought for his life for two days, and died on June 10, 2019.

Investigators described a chaotic scene; the shooter fled and was later identified as Ramon Deron Smith. Two women tied to the case as material witnesses, Christina Haney and Martece Saddler, were arrested in eastern Idaho on South Dakota warrants while Smith was captured in Minneapolis and charged in connection with the shooting. Prosecutors said the violence stemmed from a feud that had played out on social media and in confrontations.

At trial the defense argued self-defense but the jury rejected that account, finding Smith guilty in late August 2021 of second-degree murder, first-degree manslaughter, and multiple counts of aggravated assault. Sentencing in January 2022 imposed a life term for Carr’s killing plus additional consecutive prison time for the assault convictions. Does anyone have information about the events outside the Cliff Avenue apartments that night?
