SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT, ERNEST SMITH WAS WALKING FROM A NEARBY FRIENDS HOUSE IN THE 800 BLOCK OF CHARLIE PLACE. HE HAD JUST STEPPED UP ONTO HIS PORCH WHEN HE WAS APPROACHED BY SOMEONE. ERNEST’S SISTER HEARD HIM TALKING TO SOMEONE JUST BEFORE SHOTS WERE FIRED. THE SISTER LOOKED OUT AND SAW ERNEST LYING ON THE PORCH AND A MAN RUNNING AWAY. THE ONLY DESCRIPTION THE SISTER COULD PROVIDE WAS A MALE BLACK IN DARK CLOTHING. NO VEHICLE WAS SEEN LEAVING THE AREA ERNEST HAD CONNECTIONS TO A LOCAL GANG BUT IT IS UNKNOWN IF THAT HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH HIS MURDER.
