Vidal Smith, a 26-year-old Black / African American man, was found dead in the roadway at the intersection of 1st Street and Roff Way in Reno, Nevada, in the early morning of August 31, 2017. Officers arrived at about 2:00 a.m. and determined Smith had sustained what appeared to be a gunshot wound.

Investigators identified a suspect, 27-year-old Dontay Sevier. In September 2017 U.S. Marshals located and arrested Sevier in Tempe, Arizona, on a warrant related to Smith’s death. Sevier was later extradited to Nevada; in February 2018 he was brought back to Washoe County and booked on an open murder charge, with his first court appearance set for February 21, 2018.

If anyone knew Vidal, saw him that night, or has information about the events around 1st Street and Roff Way, please share what can help the investigation.
