Tommy E. Smith, 39, of Arcola, Illinois, died on January 11, 2015, after a confrontation with Arcola police officers who responded to a domestic disturbance call. Officers arrived shortly before 6 p.m.; Smith reportedly confronted them armed with an assault rifle and a handgun and was shot by police. The Illinois State Police took over the investigation and the Douglas County Coroner scheduled an autopsy. The officer involved was not immediately identified and, as of this account, no arrests or suspects have been named and no further details about legal actions have been released.

The circumstances that led to the use of deadly force remain under investigation. Does anyone have information about the response that evening or about Tommy Smith’s last known movements?
