Community Alert: Family Seeks Justice in North County Homicide of Jay Smith

Authorities are urging anyone with information about the shooting to come forward. Tips, no matter how small, could help investigators identify who is responsible and bring justice to Smith’s loved ones.

The family has emphasized the importance of community support during this difficult time. Sharing information, checking security footage, or speaking up if you saw something can help investigators solve the case.
