On August 16, 2021, a dispute inside a Henderson residence on Chelsea Drive between 30-year-old Mario Hunt and 28-year-old Lucretia Smith moved into the front yard and became physical. Witnesses broke up the fight and Hunt began to walk away, but Smith got into a Jeep SUV, drove after him, then exited the vehicle carrying a handgun. Surveillance footage reportedly shows Smith chasing Hunt and raising the weapon. Police say Smith told investigators she intended only to pistol-whip Hunt; she also told detectives the gun discharged as she swung it, and the shot struck Hunt in the forehead.

Hunt was taken to Sunrise Hospital and pronounced dead; the cause of death was a gunshot wound to the head. Detectives located the Jeep the next day and arrested Lucretia Smith following a traffic stop. A 9mm handgun was found hidden between mattresses in a residence linked to Smith. Smith was booked into the Henderson Detention Center on suspicion of open murder and held without bail.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who can add details about what happened on Chelsea Drive that afternoon?
