The family of Stephen Smith is offering a $35,000 reward for information leading to an arrest in the death of Stephen Smith, whose 2015 death was recently announced as a homicide investigation. The reward money is being allocated from funds raised through a GoFundMe account set up to help pay for the exhumation and independent autopsy of Stephen Smith, whose death was initially ruled a hit-and-run but has now been classified as a homicide. Stephen's body was exhumed over the weekend by South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) so that a second autopsy could be performed. Smith family attorney Eric Bland urged anyone with information about Smith's death to come forward and contact SLED. "We understand that providing information about a crime can be difficult, and we want to support the community however we can to bring closure for the Smith family," Bland said. The paramount issue here is to find answers for the Smith family. We won't stop until we do." Smith, 19, was found dead on Sandy Run Road in rural Hampton County, South Carolina on July, 8 2015. He was discovered lying in the middle of the road a few miles from where his car ran out of gas.
