There has been little information available though shortly after the shooting, the sheriff’s office issued a warning that retaliation and violence would not be tolerated.
“We have heard the chatter of recent threats and retaliation in the community,” Staly said after the teen was fatally shot. “We’ve been informed of multiple threats against the alleged perpetrator and the possibility of people taking matters into their own hands.”
Smith’s family will be attending the news conference Friday afternoon.
