Danny Smith, a 63-year-old resident of Boulevard, California, tragically lost his life on November 1, 2018. The incident occurred on a rural property located in the 38000 block of Highway 94, where Danny and his younger brother, David Smith, each lived in separate homes. On that fateful afternoon, the San Diego County Sheriff's Department received multiple 911 calls reporting a shooting at the residence. Upon arrival, deputies discovered Danny Smith with a fatal gunshot wound.
Despite immediate efforts, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The investigation quickly led to the arrest of David Smith, 52, who was found at the property. He was taken into custody without incident and subsequently booked into San Diego Central Jail on one count of first-degree murder. David Smith is being held without bail and was scheduled to appear in court shortly after his arrest.
