Yvette Smith was a 47 year old mother of three when she called the police at around 00:30 on the 16th February 2014 about a dispute between two men that she had tried to calm down. She raised concerns to the police over the phone about a gun being involved in the dispute.
Two officers later arrived at the property, when they got there they immediately saw one man already outside of the house and issued a verbal command for the other occupants of the house to step outside.
Yvette opened the door of her house and when she did Officer Daniel Willis shouted “POLICE” and THREE SECONDS LATER fired shots at Yvette, hitting her twice.
Yvette died in hospital.
In April 2016 Daniel Willis was found NOT GUILTY of murder.
