How they died
Deadly force
Members of a countywide Mobile Acute Crisis team that deal with mental illness situations went to Smith's mobile home to serve Smith a court-ordered emergency mental health petition, police said. Three officers entered the mobile home, when they encountered Smith coming out of a back bedroom, with what appeared to be two knives in his hands. Two officers were able to back out of the trailer and out of Smith's way, but officer Ryder Schrage was backed into a fence, and unable to escape as Smith continued to advance. Schrage ordered Smith to stop and shot and killed him.
