FOX59/CBS4 has requested a mugshot and probable cause affidavit for Tia Smith. This article will be updated once they are released. INDIANAPOLIS — An Indy woman has been arrested and charged with murder in connection to the shooting death of Clevester Brown Jr. earlier this year on the city's northeast side. Tia Smith, 43, was arrested by IMPD two weeks ago and booked into jail on a preliminary felony murder charge. The charge stems from the death of Brown Jr., 51, who was shot and killed in February at the Towne and Terrace Apartments. IMPD crews were called around 6 a.m. on Feb. 12 to the 4100 block of North Brentwood Drive after a caller reported finding a dead body. The dead man was identified as Brown Jr. by the Marion County Coroner, who ruled his death a homicide by gunshot wound. Detectives eventually identified Smith as a suspect in the shooting and a warrant was issued for her arrest. Then, on Sept. 11, 2024, IMPD and US Marshalls located and arrested Smith for her alleged role in Brown Jr.'s homicide. Smith has since been booked into the Marion County Adult Detention Center on a felony murder charge where she is being held with no bond. The County Prosecutor's Office will soon make the final charging decisions. Online court records show that Smith has a pretrial conference scheduled for Nov. 11 in Marion Superior Court 29 before her jury trial begins the next week on Nov. 19. Smith has a lengthy criminal history in Indiana that includes past charges of cocaine and narcotics possession, disorderly conduct, resisting law enforcement and various traffic violations such as driving while suspended.
