How they died
Suicide
According to police, a pizza delivery driver brought an order to the Lexington Village Apartments around 10 p.m. and was invited inside. Deshawn Antonio Smith allegedly had a revolver and stole the driver's wallet and the pizza, then ran away. The driver called police and officers chased Smith, who reportedly threw the pizza bag by a Dumpster before going into an apartment building. Police said they conducted a door-to-door search with assistance from Hazel Park's K-9 unit and figured out which apartment Smith was in. Officers entered the apartment, where they reportedly heard two gunshots, then found Smith had shot himself.
