The shooting followed a 911 call reporting domestic violence; bodycam footage showed Smith wielding a knife toward officers, prompting the deadly response. Smith’s mother, Rose Johnson, emphasized his struggles with depression and addiction, urging authorities to prioritize de-escalation. The jury’s verdict, delivered after reviewing all evidence, concluded the officers’ actions were justified — a final, sobering chapter in a case that continues to resonate in communities across the nation.
