Wesley Wayne Smith, 21, was killed late on April 17, 2023, after a shooting inside the Walnut Arms Apartments on the 400 block of Walnut Street in Lansdale, Pennsylvania. Smith, described in reports as being from Philadelphia, was visiting his girlfriend, Hailee Duerson Skeleton, at her apartment when police were called about a shooting at about 11:09 p.m. Officers found Smith dead on the master bedroom floor; an autopsy the next day ruled his death a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators say the shooting began when 21-year-old Christopher Scott Moore Jr., described as Duerson Skeleton’s ex-boyfriend and the father of her children, broke in through a bathroom window, went into the bedroom and began shooting. Smith returned fire. Detectives recovered two firearms and multiple spent casings from each gun; both Smith and Moore reportedly had valid carry permits. Moore was found alive with multiple gunshot wounds and was hospitalized. Authorities say children were not in the apartment and Duerson Skeleton was not injured. An earlier alleged break-in and assault the night before is described in the criminal complaint.

Does anyone have information about Smith’s time in Lansdale that night or about the earlier alleged incident?
