Corey Smith was 37 when he was killed in Richmond, Virginia. The fatal incident occurred on January 26, 2017, and his death was later ruled a homicide. The Richmond Police Department opened an extensive investigation to determine what happened and identify those responsible.

Investigators identified several individuals as suspects and made multiple arrests. One man named as a key suspect is Corey Tayvon Smith, whose prior conviction for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon was noted during the inquiry. The Commonwealth pursued charges through a series of court cases and appeals; prosecution and defense then contested evidence, witness testimony, and procedural issues as the matter moved through the courts.

There are still unanswered questions about the full sequence of events that led to Corey Smith’s death. Does anyone have information that could clarify what happened that night or knew Corey Smith?
