The crime happened outside her home in the Onderdonk housing community off Shelton Beach Road. News 5 spoke with a woman who called police minutes after the shooting happened.
Carrie Hudson says it was around 3 o'clock Wednesday morning when a neighbor woke her up. "He said Dawn been shot. He says I heard a gun shot and when I came to the door she was laying in the street," Hudson said.
Although Lee's front door is taped with a warning sign that reads "Beware of Gun," Hudson says she doesn't know why Lee was targeted. "She's a nice lady. I don't even know why she was out at three in the morning," she said.
Hudson says Lee's apartment door was locked and her car was parked in its usual spot. She also says many of the residents in the housing community are hearing impaired. "We all look out for each other. Anybody that dies here dies from natural causes never anyone getting shot. This the first we heard of," she said.
Mobile police say Smith is also responsible for a shooting at ITT Tech earlier this year. Smith allegedly got into an argument with another student and shot him in the arm.
