Ronnie Smith, 33, was fatally shot on May 1, 2008, in the South Chicago neighborhood. He was found with multiple gunshot wounds and died at the scene in the early morning hours. His death was one of many homicides in Chicago during a year marked by a surge in killings.

Efforts to bolster patrols and pursue community outreach are mentioned, but the systemic problems contributing to the high number of violent incidents remained unresolved.

If anyone knew Ronnie Smith or has information about the circumstances of his death, please come forward.
