*ST. LOUIS, Missouri (KMOV) — A mother’s pain is turning into a plea after her son was shot and killed after being robbed while taking a nap in his car. Demario Smith was a University City High School honor roll student, he was murdered weeks before his sophomore year at Morehouse College.
“They took his keys and his cellphone,” says his mother, Angelica Smith. “Even if he did confront you, you could have just went on.”
The 19-year-old came back home to St. Louis to work at a nearby QuikTrip during summer break. Angelica Smith says her son was robbed in broad daylight on Pestalozzi Street while sleeping in his car after working an overnight shift. Angelica Smith says Demario had to use a stranger’s phone to call her.
“He had called me and his dad at 4:48 and the report says 5:46 was his time of death. It just happened so quick, like I don’t understand,” Angelica Smith says. “I didn’t imagine I would be burying my child or planning a funeral for my child.”
