Demarcus Leon Womack, known as D-Mac, was 18 when he was shot on the evening of Friday, August 31, 2007, in Richmond, Virginia. The shooting happened about 8:30 p.m. in the 400 block of Westover Street on the city’s South Side. Police responding to reports of random gunfire found Womack wounded; he was taken to VCU Medical Center and died of his injuries on September 1, 2007.

Richmond police arrested 20-year-old Jerel T. Smith on September 5, 2007, and charged him with murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony after investigators said the shooting arose from an ongoing dispute between the two men. A grand jury indicted Smith in January 2008 on murder, firearm use during a felony, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon; his trial in Richmond Circuit Court resulted in convictions for voluntary manslaughter, use of a firearm in the commission of manslaughter, and felon in possession, with a total sentence of 18 years.

If anyone knew Demarcus, his movements that evening, or has information about the dispute that led to this shooting, please share what is known.
