Paul Edward Smith was 21 when he was killed in a drive-by shooting on April 23, 2013. He was sitting on the front porch of a residence in East Tampa’s 3400 block of Lindell Avenue when a vehicle drove by and someone opened fire, fatally striking him. The shooting happened around 5:30 p.m. in what is described as a typically quiet residential area.

Local law enforcement launched an investigation but made no immediate arrests, and the homicide remains unresolved. The case drew attention for its senseless violence and the effect on the neighborhood. Authorities have asked anyone with information about the shooting to come forward.
