According to detectives, three men were in the driveway of a Ventura Street home when another group drove up. Two men got out of the vehicle and fired, killing Smith in the driveway and injuring a 24-year-old man, said police Officer Michele Gigante.

One of the men from the car, said to be 21 years old, also died when the group in the driveway returned fire. The car then sped from the scene.

Witnesses and people possibly involved in the shooting incident have been contacted by police. No motive for the gunfire has been released.
