Smith appeared to have been shot in the head.
Later, a witness told investigators he saw the couple arguing in the middle of a street next to a white pickup truck, according to the documents. The gunman fired once with a long gun, striking her, before returning to his truck and driving away.
Investigators later discovered that minutes before the shooting, Smith had sent a text message to a friend telling her where he was in case something happened to her, according to the documents. “Kwan” had kidnapped her, she wrote, and was in the back of her truck.
