On November 18, 2023, 16-year-old Randy Smith was shot in Orlando, Florida, at the Metro Place Apartments. Police responded to reports of gunshots and a white SUV stuck on a parking block about 5:25 p.m. Officers found Smith with a gunshot wound to the head; he was taken to a local hospital and later died from his injuries.

The Orlando Police Department has since announced arrests in connection with the case. On January 3, 2024, 17-year-old Trayvon Randell Jackson was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and principal in first-degree armed robbery with a firearm. On January 12, 2024, 16-year-old Rise K Burgess was arrested and charged with second-degree murder with a firearm; Burgess was moved from the juvenile detention center to the Orange County Jail after arrest. The Homicide Unit is continuing its investigation and asking anyone with information to contact them or call Crimeline at 800-423-8477 to remain anonymous.

Did anyone in the area see activity at the Metro Place Apartments that evening or recognize the white SUV mentioned in reports?
