Quentin Smith was 16 when he was found shot in the driveway of a residence near De Koven and Case Avenues in Racine, Wisconsin, on August 12, 2022. He was discovered about 10:30 p.m., taken to a local hospital and then flown to a Milwaukee hospital, where he died a few hours later. Smith was about to begin his junior year at Washington Park High School; his family described him as creative, smart, and funny.

Police arrested a 15-year-old the day after the shooting. Court documents and witness statements in the case say the motive was tied to a gang dispute: the suspect, identified as Zontell Junior, allegedly believed Smith belonged to a rival gang. A witness told investigators the three had been together earlier at a nearby house and that Junior had said he intended to shoot Smith. The witness said they heard a single gunshot in the driveway, saw Smith fall and then saw Junior holding a gun before he ran away; video reportedly showed Junior running home after the incident.

Did anyone in Racine know Quentin or see them together that night and have information to share?
