On August 13, 2017, 62-year-old Kelly Ray Smith was shot and killed in a McDonald’s parking lot in Cañon City, Colorado. Video surveillance shows Smith was pulling his truck into a parking space after a drive-through purchase when his 25-year-old grandson, Zebulon Montgomery, who was inside the vehicle with him, produced a gun and shot Smith in the head. The shooting was instantaneous and Smith did not survive.

Authorities identified and arrested Zebulon Montgomery. He later pleaded guilty to second-degree murder. During sentencing the defense cited Montgomery’s prenatal exposure to drugs and alcohol as a factor in his mental state. On April 17, 2018, Montgomery was sentenced to 32 years in prison for Kelly Ray Smith’s murder.

If anyone knew Kelly, his movements that day, or has additional information about what happened in that parking lot, please share what you know.
