Precious L. McClendon, 24, was killed in a shooting in Norfolk, Virginia, in the early morning of September 3, 2023. Officers responding to the 700 block of Church Street, near E. Brambleton Avenue, found two people with gunshot wounds. McClendon was pronounced dead at the scene; a 51-year-old man suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to a hospital.

Investigators identified 41-year-old Curtis G. Smith as a suspect and announced his arrest on September 5 in the 4500 block of W. Military Highway in Chesapeake. Smith faced charges including second-degree murder, malicious wounding, and two counts of use of a firearm in connection with the shooting. Authorities said there had been a prior June 30, 2023, incident in which Smith allegedly assaulted McClendon over a disputed $15 debt; McClendon had identified Smith as her assailant after that earlier encounter.

Does anyone have information about McClendon, her movements that night, or the earlier confrontation on Wide Street?
