Just after midnight on Thursday morning, Michael Allen Smith was shot and mortally wounded outside of his Central Lorain home. "He had just returned home and was in the process of moving a family member's car from the street to into the driveway", Lt. Jim Rohner said. "Our preliminary investigation indicates robbery as a possible motive". Not only did the alleged robber gun Mr. Smith down with a shot to the abdomen, the victim was then put in the trunk of his wife's car and left for dead. The police indicated that he was, in fact, still alive upon their arrival at 12:30 a.m. Apparently no one actually saw the shooting, but a neighbor who heard the shots looked out and saw the victim . "To see that, it's scary. It was right outside my window." the witness stated. "It gives me goose bumps. That guy came into the store every day."Per the story in the Morning Journal, Smith was transported to Community Health Partners in Lorain with a GSW to the abdomen and later transferred to Akron City Hospital, where he was pronounced dead just after 3 a.m. The news article stated that with warmer weather coming the community is working to find activities to deter children from crime, but police believe that drug activity is the major contributor. "These are criminals out there, not kids that can't find a place to play basketball," stated Lt. Jim Rohner. "The community activities are great for the children coming up, but it's not going to change the kids already committing crime."
There were only two people there……… the bad guy won again. |
