Lashonda Williams, 24, and her boyfriend Roger Reed Jr., 23, took Pastor Don Smith’s car for a joyride, posting selfies to facebook that pretty much detailed their entire trip.
Some of the images are even taken just one day after the murder of the Pastor. Many of the pictures taken inside his 2010 Buick Lacrosse were nonchalant and fun, including an image of the two kissing.
“It just shows how egregious this crime is, you know, that some people, their conscience doesn’t bother them,” said Assistant Chief of Police Delando Wilson.
Four days after the murder, the couple were caught and arrested, after a brief chase in the stolen car.
“patrol cars found the car and attempted to stop the vehicle,” Wilson stated, “They refused to stop; at some point, the suspects abandoned the vehicle.”
“The only thing I can see is my daddy trying to help someone in the middle of the night, which is something he would do,” said Whitney Smith, the victim’s daughter. “The kind of person he was, people might have thought he was naive because helps everyone even if he shouldn’t.”
