Antoine L. Smith Jr. was 24 when he was fatally wounded in a shooting in Richmond, Virginia, on December 14, 2017. Remembered by family as goofy, loving and very nice, he was a father of three whose sudden death deeply affected those who knew him.

Police broadcast a description of a vehicle seen leaving the homicide scene and later spotted a matching car. An officer followed; a brief chase ended when the driver exited the vehicle and opened fire, striking the officer’s cruiser. The officer returned fire and wounded the individual, who was taken into custody and identified as 18-year-old James E. Williams Jr.

A Richmond grand jury indicted Williams on a murder charge in connection with Smith’s death in January 2018, and he was also charged for the shootout with the officer. Does anyone have memories of Antoine or information about the case that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
