Lawyers representing his mother announced that the death is now being considered a homicide Tuesday night, citing a phone call with SLED. SLED said in a statement Wednesday that it opened its investigation into the death in June 2021 after its agents reviewed the South Carolina Highway Patrol's case notes on the incident and found it apparent that that agency "did not believe Mr. Smith's death was a hit and run by a motor."
