According to Smith’s family, Smith, who went by the nickname Kuma, was standing outside his job when the suspect stabbed him. “Our family is still trying to get all of the information and process that Kuma is no longer here with us,” the account read. “Kuma was a loving father, brother, uncle, cousin, and honestly just a genuine human being. We are trying to process life and a world without our beloved Kuma, but we believe in our hearts that he is in a better and brighter place than the darkness this world offers us.”
