Khalli Lawrence, 19, was found dead on a Phoenix hiking trail in December 2014. A resident heard a baby crying and discovered Lawrence on a footpath along a wash with her 2-month-old daughter beside her. Lawrence had been shot in the back of the head and was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead. The infant sustained a gunshot wound to the thigh but survived.

Investigators focused on Lawrence’s ex-boyfriend, Allyn Akeem Smith, after learning a paternity test had been scheduled as part of welfare and child support procedures. Court records indicate Smith had been upset by the pregnancy and had denied paternity to another woman he was seeing. Smith surrendered to authorities in early February 2015 and was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, and child abuse.

Does anyone have information about Khalli’s last known movements or the area where she was found?
