Anthony Smith was 17 when he was found dead in Miami, Florida, on July 6, 2009. He suffered multiple injuries and authorities treated the scene as suspicious, leading investigators to suspect foul play.

Multiple suspects were identified and several arrests were made during the investigation. One primary suspect was later charged with Anthony’s murder; after a trial that included witness testimony and forensic evidence, a jury found the defendant guilty and imposed a lengthy prison sentence.

Anthony’s family also pursued civil litigation against parties they believed responsible; that case ended in a settlement. The case drew substantial local attention and had a major emotional impact on his family and community.

If anyone knew Anthony or has information about his life in Miami before July 6, 2009, please share what you remember.
