Kendre Demond Smith was 25 when he was killed in a double shooting in Oklahoma City on February 3, 2016. A 26-year-old woman, Chameeka Harris, was also killed in the same incident. The deaths were investigated as a double homicide.

Authorities arrested Jamar Mordecai Simms in connection with the killings. Prosecutors said the shootings occurred during a drug transaction; Simms was tried, convicted of felony murder in 2018, and given two consecutive life sentences for the deaths of Smith and Harris. The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals later reversed that conviction in October 2021, finding the trial evidence insufficient to support a felony-murder theory that Simms was the distributor rather than the buyer. The appeals court did allow the possibility of retrial on an alternative theory that the killings took place during a robbery with a dangerous weapon, and the Oklahoma County District Attorney’s office stated an intention to retry the case.

Did anyone in Oklahoma City have information about Smith’s last known movements or the events of February 3, 2016?
