Smith was killed by officers from a Federal Task Force serving a warrant, while Marie died when a driver, Nicholas Kraus, struck protesters demonstrating against Smith's death. The plywood-covered building in the background, marked with graffiti, indicates ongoing unrest and potential construction or repair work in the aftermath of the events.
