Torrey Smith was 29 when he was found shot to death in the early morning of October 6, 2013, in the 2800 block of Parkside Drive in Chesapeake, Virginia. Chesapeake police responded to a call around 5:50 a.m. and pronounced Smith, a Norfolk resident and merchant mariner, dead at the scene. Friends and family remembered him as a beloved father, brother and friend and a graduate of Booker T. Washington High School.

Investigators identified 22-year-old Laquan Wright, a friend of Smith’s who used a wheelchair after being paralyzed, as the suspect. Police say the killing stemmed from a domestic dispute after Wright discovered Smith was romantically involved with his mother; the confrontation occurred when Wright returned from a birthday party for Smith and found them together. Wright was later located in Charlotte, North Carolina, taken into custody and returned to Virginia to face charges.

Does anyone have information about Smith’s life in Norfolk or the circumstances that night that could help fill in gaps about what happened?
