    Christopher Smith aka Darryl Myers - Pennsylvania




    Summary of Offense:

    On December 1, 2002, Smith and his cohort Aquil Bond were members of the "Manny Boo" drug gang. Smith and Bond fired more than 30 shots in the street corner killing of Abdul Brooks, which injured another person. He also participated in a home invasion of rival dealers where a child watched as they tied up his mother, cornered his father and shot both in the head. Not long after, he participated in the kidnapping of another drug dealer who was shot with an assault rifle, abused and his corpse hit with bricks. Finally, his weighted body was tossed into a river.

    Smith was sentenced to death in Philadelphia County on May 12, 2005.
