Robert L. Smith, 61, was found shot to death in his South Side Chicago home on February 9, 2015, while babysitting his granddaughter. A father and grandfather, Smith was killed inside the residence as he cared for the young child. No immediate public details about suspects or a motive were confirmed at the time.

The killing occurred in a neighborhood already struggling with high rates of violent crime, and the fact that it happened while Smith was performing a caregiving role added a particularly tragic element for the family and community. Limited information was released about the circumstances of the shooting beyond the fact that it took place in the home.

If anyone knew Robert L. Smith, was in that area on February 9, 2015, or has information about what happened that night, please come forward with tips.
