Anthony Smith

Police said the guard was investigating two people in a red Kia that were on the hospital lot in the 1400 block of South Grand Boulevard about 1:10 a.m. The Kia then struck the guard, throwing him to the ground, and the guard fired gunshots into the car, according to police. The Kia then struck a parked car in the lot. The driver of the Kia ran from the car, but was found in the street about two blocks south of the hospital with a gunshot wound to the chest. He was taken to a hospital and was pronounced dead. Police on Thursday identified him as 32-year-old Anthony Smith of the 5500 block of Alcott Avenue. The security guard was left in critical condition and was considered unstable Wednesday morning.
