Dante Anthony Smith was 19 when he was shot in the parking lot of a Kroger in the Pleasure Ridge Park neighborhood of Louisville on the afternoon of Tuesday, April 27, 2021. He was taken to a nearby hospital in critical condition and later died of his injuries. The Louisville Metro Police Department Homicide Unit opened an investigation and said multiple people were involved in the events that afternoon; police also said all parties connected to the shooting had been accounted for but did not release suspect names or make arrests at the time. The case was to be reviewed by the Commonwealth Attorney’s Office for charging recommendations.

There is public confusion because a different Dante Smith was arrested in connection with an unrelated 2024 homicide, a matter not connected to this case. Does anyone who was in Pleasure Ridge Park that afternoon or who knew Dante have information that could help clarify what happened?
