Theran L. Hillsman Smith, a 20-year-old African American male, tragically passed away on August 2, 2014, in Aurora, Illinois. Theran, known affectionately as "Smookie" to his family and "Smith" to his friends, was a loving, caring, and humble young man who touched the lives of those around him. He was born on May 14, 1994, to Shamara M. Hillsman and Theran L. Smith. Theran had a passion for rapping and was known for his big, beautiful eyes, loving smile, and giving heart. He was a devoted brother to his siblings, Charles Gonzalez , Terrell Hillsman-Smith, Javon Hillsman-Smith, and Tamara Hillsman-Smith, and a loving son and grandson.

Theran's death was a significant loss to his family and community. He was preceded in death by his daughter, Tamari Hillsman-Smith, and his grandparents, Charlie and Sallie Hillsman, and Michael Bolton. His funeral services were held on August 8, 2014, at Mount Olive COGIC, with interment at Spring Lake Cemetery in Aurora.

Despite the profound impact of Theran's death, there is limited information available regarding any arrests, suspects, litigations, murder investigations, or law cases related to his passing. The circumstances surrounding his death remain unclear, and it appears that no significant legal actions or investigations have been publicly documented. The lack of detailed information about the events leading to Theran's death leaves many questions unanswered and highlights the need for further investigation and justice for his family and loved ones.
