Courtney D. Smith (known in the neighborhood as Pooh) was stabbed and killed last night. After a confrontation broke out between his sister and her ex-boyfriend, Pooh stepped in to protect her. The ex-boyfriend stabbed him with a knife and shortly after being rushed to the hospital, Pooh was pronounced deceased. The ex remains on the run. This touches home for me, because Pooh was a friend of mine. He was a loving father and clearly a protector of his loved ones. He will forever be missed in the city of Trenton.
This was the second death in Trenton in the last 24 hours and four others (in separate incidences) remain in critical condition. Stop the Violence! Drop down bottom for more.
A man stands up for his flesh and blood and dies…ridiculous.I hope and pray that his sister is well mentally after the incident your brother loves you very much.
I knew Pooh through one of my best friends and he was a cool dude. I know his fam and my heart goes out to them.
Though this is sad to hear he was defending his own flesh and blood. To me that makes him a Hero.
Rest Peacefully POOH
God Bless,
