Prattville police need your help to bring a killer to justice

Prattville Police are asking for help from the public — to find and take a killer off the street.

Sixteen year old Kylen Smith was shot and killed in Prattville — back in August. He was gunned down on the 600 block of Covered Bridge Parkway — in broad daylight.

Now more than three months later — police continue to investigate. And Smith’s killer — remains at large.

“Evidence collected by investigators have lead us to believe that the suspect was on foot at the time of the shooting — and not in a vehicle,” said Sgt. Ariel Davis.

“We do not suspect this to be a random killing. But that we do think the victim may have known or associated with his shooter.”

“We need your help. If you know something, if you think you know something, call us,” said District Attorney C.J. Robinson.

“Because there are people that may know something that either felt like they didn’t want to get involved, or were afraid to.”

But authorities say tipsters don’t have to worry — about anyone — finding out who they are.
And they’re hoping the reward now being offered — will provide investigators with the information they need — to help them crack the case.

“Crime Stoppers has never had anyone to be identified. We’re always anonymous. Please, contact us,” said Tony Garrett.

“We’re offering a $3000 dollar reward for any information that leads to an arrest to be paid within 30 days.”

“This is not a young man with a juvenile record, this is not a young man that had gang affiliation. This is a young man who is gone, who is gone way too soon,” said Robinson.

“And the main thing that I’m asking is — help us take a killer off the street.”

Anyone with information that could help investigators — call Crime Stopper number 215-STOP.
