Ronnie Smith, 25, was shot to death in Ardmore, Oklahoma in the early morning of July 28, 1975. He had been seen that night at Lue’s Supper Club and in the club’s parking lot with two other men, Carneil Lamar Davis and Garonski Goodlow, and was later observed talking with another person outside the club before the shooting.

Investigators recovered a .38 caliber bullet and an empty holster at Davis’s residence. Testimony at trial said Davis had been seen with a .38 caliber Colt revolver the night of the killing and that, while in jail, he admitted shooting Smith over a dispute about money. A jury convicted Carneil Lamar Davis of Murder in the Second Degree; he was sentenced to no less than ten years to life in prison.

If anyone remembers Smith that night at Lue’s Supper Club or has information about what happened in the parking lot, please share what is known.
