Demarquiz Quintev Smith, a 32-year-old male resident of Fort Bliss, Texas, was tragically shot and killed outside Club Hush in Northeast El Paso on July 15, 2018. Smith was exiting the club's parking lot in a vehicle when shots were fired at his car. He sustained a gunshot wound and was transported to William Beaumont Army Medical Center by a private party, but unfortunately, he later died at the hospital.
Following the incident, the El Paso Police Department issued an arrest warrant for 27-year-old Ahmond Shariff Williams, who was identified as the suspected shooter. Williams, who is not originally from El Paso, remains at large and has not yet been arrested. The police have stated that they will release a photo of Williams when it no longer hinders the investigation.
The investigation revealed that the shooting occurred just after 5:00 a.m., and Smith was the victim of a targeted attack. The El Paso Police Department's Crimes Against Persons unit is actively pursuing Williams and has secured the arrest warrant for his involvement in Smith's murder. Detectives continue to work on the case, hoping to bring Williams to justice and provide closure for Smith's family and friends.
This tragic event has left the community in mourning, and the search for Williams remains a top priority for law enforcement. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward to assist in the case.
