Freeport-The widow of alleged gang leader Tony Smith was murdered Monday afternoon.
Kim Morley-Smith’s murder at Limewood Lane in Freeport took place six days before the one year anniversary of her husband’s death. What’s more, the mother-of-seven was killed the day after Mother’s Day.
Authorities responded to a shooting around 3pm. When they arrived, they met a woman dead. Emergency personnel took a male gunshot victim to hospital, where he remains in critical condition.
Police wanted to quiz Ms. Smith’s husband for about several murders when they killed him in a shootout on May 17, 2019.
Mr Smith, better known as Fool, was one of three men killed in the incident.
Police said they went to execute a search warrant in a home in Blair Estates when the suspects allegedly opened fire on them. However, the officers returned fire and killed all of the suspects.
Ms. Smith, 48, witnessed the incident. Additionally, she was three months pregnant when her husband died.
Days after his death, police charged Ms. Smith and three others with drugs and gun crimes.
Prosecutors said that they found 23.2 pounds of marijuana, two 9mm pistols, a .45 pistol and seven rounds of .45mm ammunition.
They denied the charges and were released on bail.
Their trial was still pending before Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt.
