Louis Smith, 33 [Updated]
Died Jan. 4, 2011 at 11:15 a.m.
Louis Smith, a 33-year-old black man, died Tuesday, Jan. 4, a day after he was shot in the 1500 block of East 103rd Street in Watts, according to Los Angeles County coroner's records.
On Jan. 3 at about 3:50 p.m., Smith was approached by a male and got into a fight, said Ed Winter, spokesman for the coroner's office.
After the altercation, the male left the area and returned with a gun. He then shot Smith several times, Winter said.
Authorities were called, and Smith was taken to a hospital in Lynwood, where he died the next day at 11:15 a.m.
The Los Angeles Times has contact investigators to get more details about the investigation and will post additional information as soon as possible.

The love that we shared was like no other I've ever experienced in my lifetime and for that I am grateful. I give God all the praise for you being apart of our lives. You were truly MY everything, and no matter who or what comes up, They can not take from me what we had. I love you Louis and I told you everyday and for that I have no regrets. R.I.P Baby you will forever be #1 in my heart

You took chances
Once too many times.
As a child you thought -
"Oh no, never me."
Life is a gift,
Given and taken at some
Unknown time.
Your time came too soon -
Your life was over in a flash.
The fun you shared,
The joy you brought,
All just a memory -
Behind us.

Im in utter disbelief and only God knows the pain Im enduring everyday as I continue to look at your text, clothes, pictures and awards you received for being an outstanding citizen in the Watts community. I am sick by the thought of never kissing, hugging or smelling your scent again. I lived with you for 19 months and you were there for me every step of the way. I will continue to remeber all the fond memories we had. You were truly a God sent and Blessing to me. I know God only takes the best and doesn't make mistakes, so I have to trust and believe that you're in a much better place. I know only time and God can heal my heart as your absence is hard to bare. I will always LOVE you and never forget the relationship we had. I LOVE YOU SMITH!

I love you brother and will miss you always until we meet again. your sis Net

Louis Smith we were from two different worlds and the way our paths crossed was not ideal but I was truly in love with you then and you will always hold a special place in my heart. I know God has a reason for calling you home, but it still hurts. The times we shared and the memories I have are something that no one can take away from me. I just wish through your death those around you will choose life and stop this senseless killing. You were truly a ladies man but during our time together you still made me feel special I just wish I could have held you one last time.....It is so hard to say goodbye....RIP Mr. Smith

Syscom: Belt your robe, shutup and get your kicks elsewhere. Sometimes you are just disgusting.
Feb. 8, 2011 at 1:09 p.m.
Wassup uncle its been a while since I last got to see you. I remember you picking me and poppa up to go to his game and we chopped it up and you gave me some words of advice you told me always go after my own cause in the end its only me. I will never forget that. I miss seeing you at grandma connie house coming over to hang out. When I got the phone call telling me that you were gone I couldn't believe it I cried and I felt so broken on the inside but I had to stay strong for aunty wy keyia and poppa. Uncle pd I respect you because you kept it real no matter what and you took care of all your kids. You been around since I was a shortie and I will never forget you. I love you unc from the bottom of my heart I know you in a better place I know your looking down on me.

Are there any updates on the shooter??? To the family: Absent from the body means present with the Lord. You all are right he is watching over you and guiding you through life. Stay strong and lean on each other for support.
@Syscom-sometimes you just go to far on very little gas.
