Leticia Smith, 56, was shot inside her Salt Lake City apartment on the night of November 26, 2019. Police found two people with critical gunshot wounds at the Windsor Park Apartments; Smith was alive when officers arrived but later died at the hospital. Before she died, she identified her shooter to authorities as her live-in boyfriend, Steven Howard Scruggs. Scruggs, 50, was also found at the scene with a gunshot wound.

Investigators recovered text messages from Scruggs’s phone from the night of the shooting indicating he was suicidal and that the couple were ending their relationship. Scruggs later pleaded no contest to manslaughter and in September 2022 was sentenced to four years of probation for recklessly causing Smith’s death while intoxicated. Smith’s daughter described the loss as permanently altering the family’s holidays and said her mother was robbed of the chance to be a grandmother.

Does anyone have information about the events at Windsor Park Apartments that night or knew Leticia and her family?
