After being shot multiple times during an argument with a man with whom her friend once had a relationship, police said, Smoot died in a Manassas-area apartment Monday, January 17.

In the hours leading up to the shooting, police said Smoot and a family member, whom they declined to identify, went to an apartment in the 8100 block of Cobden Court, near the Manassas-area Costco, to meet McCray. The family member accompanying the victim had a previous relationship with McCray, police said.
During the encounter, the victim and McCray got into a verbal altercation that escalated when the accused shot the victim multiple times, police said.
