Matthew Ryan Smoke, 27, was fatally shot on November 21, 2016, in Lansing, Michigan. The shooting took place in a vehicle parked outside a business in the 3000 block of South Washington Avenue after an altercation that began at The Green Room, a marijuana dispensary.

Lansing Police identified two suspects: Adara Brishon Carthall, 24 at the time, who was arrested shortly after the incident and charged with open murder, armed robbery and weapons offenses; and Marcell Djon Davis, who was initially sought as armed and dangerous. Prosecutors’ theory at trial was that Carthall pulled the victim from the passenger seat while Davis entered the rear of the vehicle.

Davis was later tried, convicted of first-degree murder, felony murder and armed robbery, and sentenced to life without parole; his appeal was rejected by the Michigan Court of Appeals in February 2020.
