Amy M. Smith, 44, was killed during a violent confrontation inside a residence in the 5200 block of North Division Street in Davenport, Iowa, on the night of January 15 into the early morning of January 16, 2024. Officers had been called to that address at about 11:46 p.m. on January 15 for a reported violent domestic disturbance. Shortly before 4 a.m. on January 16, firefighters responding to a report of a residential fire found Amy and her partner Brian L. Goodwin dead inside. Investigators later determined both had suffered fatal gunshot wounds and said the bodies had been doused with an accelerant and burned, leading authorities to treat the deaths as homicides.

Investigators focused on two people who had been living with Amy and Brian in the months prior, Adriana Blake and Devon Braet, alleging the pair killed the victims, robbed them and set the fire to conceal the crimes. A third person, Melisa M. Weber, was arrested in connection with the aftermath and later pleaded guilty to accessory after the fact. Amy’s family described her as a loving daughter, sister, aunt, friend and mother of three who had struggled with addiction but was much more than that struggle.

Are there readers who knew Amy or who have information about the events at that North Division Street residence?
