Anthony Smith was 15 when he died from gun violence on October 22, 2024, in an alley on Chicago’s South Side, according to police. His death has left a family already stretched thin grieving and struggling to cover funeral expenses.

Anthony’s older brother Semaj Smith, 19, had been the boys’ primary caregiver since 2021 and had taken custody of Anthony and their other brother. Semaj, who also has a child, had been providing basics such as phones, shoes and support for basketball trips while trying to keep the household afloat. After Anthony’s death Semaj launched a GoFundMe titled Support Jada in Honoring Anthony’s Memory to help pay for a proper burial, and community donations have begun to arrive.

If anyone knew Anthony or saw activity in that alley on October 22, 2024, please share what was seen to help the family and investigators.
