Leibby Jeannette Smith, 64, was killed in a drive-by shooting in Phoenix on April 16, 2023. Just after 1:30 a.m., while at a restaurant near 43rd Avenue and Thomas Road, a vehicle pulled up and an occupant or occupants opened fire toward the business. Smith was struck and later died at a nearby hospital; a second woman suffered serious injuries and was treated.

Phoenix Police Department detectives who responded say the suspect vehicle fled the scene and, as of this writing, no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests announced. The investigation remains active and authorities are asking anyone with information to contact them.

If anyone was near that restaurant around 1:30 a.m. on April 16, 2023, or has dashcam or surveillance footage, can you help investigators by coming forward?
