Man ID’d whose body was found near school in Huber Heights

Mowers reported finding the body shortly after noon Monday at the property at 6161 Chambersburg Road.

Huber Heights police and evidence technicians throughout the afternoon were at the scene, which was near a city water tower and athletic field.

The mowing crew was on the grounds for the first time this season when they found the body, which the caller said appeared to be decomposing.

No information was available on the circumstances surrounding Smith’s death.

However, the 911 caller reported finding a gun not far from Smith’s body.

“It looked like he was shot here and then stumbled over there,” he said.
