Rockingham County, NC – The Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office has identified the man killed in a deputy-involved shooting on October 7, 2025, in Reidsville, North Carolina.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, 31-year-old Shavon Curtis Smith was shot and killed after allegedly firing multiple rounds at deputies who were attempting to serve arrest warrants at his home on 191 Dennis Drive in Reidsville. Deputies reportedly returned fire, striking Smith several times.
Deputies immediately provided medical aid, but Smith later succumbed to his injuries, according to officials. The State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) was called to assist in the review of the incident, as is standard procedure in officer-involved shootings.
