The investigation shows that Smith, who was acquainted with Grady, was armed and was attempting to rob Grady of a pistol when he shot him.

The truck was recovered during the night from a parking garage on S. 5th Street.
Smith was arrested at his grandmother’s residence. He is being held at juvenile detention on charges of criminal homicide, vehicle theft, robbery and evidence tampering.
