A man and woman are found shot to death in their car In the early morning hours of August 6, 2011, a tragic discovery was made on Avenue B in Norwalk, Connecticut. Rackita Smalls, a 22-year-old African-American female, was found unresponsive in her black Honda sedan. Alongside her was 27-year-old Iroquois Alston. Both had sustained fatal gunshot wounds to the head in what was determined to be a double homicide.
A resident of Avenue B alerted police shortly before 8 a.m. after noticing Smalls slumped over in the driver's seat of her car.
Investigators found the passenger-side window of the vehicle had been shattered. The motive for the killings remains unclear, and the person or persons responsible for their deaths have not been identified. The case has since gone cold, leaving the families of both victims searching for answers and justice.
In the years following the murders, law enforcement has continued to seek information from the public. A substantial $50,000 reward has been offered for any information that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the deaths of Rackita Smalls and Iroquois Alston. Despite the passage of time and the financial incentive, no arrests have been made in connection with the case. Authorities continue to encourage anyone with information to come forward, offering various anonymous tip lines in the hope of bringing closure to a case that has remained unsolved for over a decade.
