The Shooting of Winston Smith

In this full documentary investigation, we examine the intense and controversial 2021 law enforcement shooting of Winston “Boogie” Smith in a Minneapolis parking garage. This deep dive reconstructs the final moments on the fifth floor of the Seven Points ramp, where a specialized U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force moved to apprehend Smith on a felony firearms warrant. We analyze the tactical positioning of undercover units, the rapid escalation that led to lethal force, and the specific forensic evidence recovered from the scene, including the semi-automatic handgun found inside the silver SUV.
