Antonio Kaoul Smith, 37, was found in the roadway on Chesapeake Drive in Dumfries, Virginia, in the early morning hours of a Tuesday in September 2019 after gunfire was reported at about 3:51 a.m. He had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and died at a local hospital.

Investigators later tied Smith’s killing to the Sitios Locos Salvatruchas clique of MS-13. In October 2020, authorities announced arrests of 12 people in a joint investigation by Prince William County Police and the FBI; the investigation linked a string of violent crimes, including four homicides, to those arrested. Police said five members of the clique randomly targeted Smith as he walked home from a convenience store, allegedly to bolster their status within the gang. The 12 arrested faced more than 50 charges, including second-degree murder, conspiracy and gang-related offenses.

Anyone who knew Antonio, saw him that night, or has information about his killing is asked to come forward.
