D’Allen Smith was 22 when he was shot and killed in Laurel, Mississippi, on the evening of April 24, 2023. Police found him with multiple gunshot wounds; he died after receiving medical attention. Detectives canvassed the area for evidence and witnesses and noted witnesses had seen two men in a vehicle at the location around the time of the shooting.

A suspect later surrendered to authorities, and the Laurel Police Department continued investigating Smith’s death. The killing occurred amid a cluster of violent crimes in Laurel that spring, though whether those other homicides are linked to Smith’s remains unclear.

If anyone knew D’Allen, saw activity in that neighborhood that night, or has information about the two men in the vehicle, please contact the Laurel Police Department.
