Robert Mark Hill, 58, was fatally shot at his home in the South Haven, Michigan area on May 24, 2017. He worked as a shipping clerk for Dr. Pepper/7 Up/Snapple in Holland and co-owned Farm House Glenn Antiques with his wife, a business tied to his creative interests and workmanship.

Authorities quickly identified a suspect as Hill’s 27-year-old stepson, Tyler Smith, who was at the scene when officers arrived and surrendered. Smith was charged with open murder and a felony firearm offense; bond was denied and he was remanded in custody. Court filings later detailed Smith’s mental illness. He pleaded no contest to second-degree murder in February 2018, and after a forensic psychiatric evaluation found him legally insane at the time of the shooting, he was found not guilty by reason of insanity and committed to the state’s forensic center for treatment.

Does anyone have information about Robert Hill’s life in the South Haven area or memories of the Hill family that could shed light on this case?
