Deschene D-Street Darrell, 28, was shot and killed at a residence in Church Rock, New Mexico, on May 17, 2021. He was struck by a bullet that pierced his heart and both lungs; witnesses and responders attempted lifesaving measures but he did not survive.

The FBI’s Albuquerque Field Office and the Navajo Department of Criminal Investigations investigated the killing and asked the public for help identifying the person responsible. Court documents say Josiah Alan Smith, 30, an enrolled member of the Navajo Nation from Smith Lake, arrived at the residence armed with a rifle, threatened Darrell, left briefly, then returned with a revolver and fired two shots through a bedroom window, one of which hit Darrell in the back. Smith then fled and is alleged to have tried to dispose of the murder weapon.

Does anyone have information about Darrell, the Church Rock residence, or the events of May 17, 2021 that could help complete the timeline?
