On the night of April 19, 1995, Nathaddeus Smith, 25, met a man at a bar in Mount Pleasant. The two then left the bar together. Soon after, residents along Kenyon Street could hear Smith’s cries as he was stabbed more than 50 times.

Residents jammed the phone lines calling the police for help, but by the time officers arrived, Smith was dead. His body was lying between two parked cars.
