Larry Maurice Smith, 34, was fatally shot on the evening of December 20, 2017, at about 8:45 p.m. at the Avon Oaks apartment complex, 425 Southern Boulevard NW in Warren, Ohio. After being shot, Smith tried to drive himself to the hospital but lost consciousness and crashed into a large box truck at Mahoning Avenue and Summit Street NW; the truck was pushed into the front porch of a nearby home. Emergency responders found Smith deceased in his vehicle, which had multiple bullet holes on the passenger side.

Smith was born April 6, 1983, in Warren and was a lifelong resident who graduated from Warren G. Harding High School. He worked painting cars, attended Alpha and Omega Seventh-Day Adventist Church, and was the father of three children: Elizah and Tyler Smith, and Mauriah Anderson. Warren police opened an investigation and identified persons of interest but had made no arrests; investigators cited a lack of physical evidence and witnesses reluctant to come forward.

Did anyone in the community see or hear anything that night that could help investigators?
