Nicole Michelle Smith, a 35-year-old Black woman, died on June 17, 2007, in St. Louis, Missouri, a date that sits like a hard stop in the middle of a life that began on January 12, 1972.
Publicly available records about what happened in her final hours are sparse, offering almost no narrative beyond the fact of her death and where she was ultimately laid to rest. In the absence of a published account describing the circumstances, the timeline becomes defined by what can be verified: her death occurred in St. Louis, and she was buried at Laurel Hill Memorial Gardens in Pagedale, in St. Louis County.
As for the questions that follow any sudden loss—who might have been responsible, whether anyone was taken into custody, whether a case moved through court—no widely accessible public reporting or official public case listing tied to her name surfaced in the sources reviewed. That means there are no publicly named suspects to describe here, no documented arrests to track, and no charges, trials, or convictions that can be responsibly connected to Nicole Michelle Smith based on those records.
