Darioun C. Smith was identified as the man killed in the April 25 incident. The coroner’s investigation revealed “fatal injuries consistent with a gunshot wound.”
The Batavia Police Department responded about 3:52 a.m. Saturday to East Wilson Street. Upon arrival, officers found a 27-year old woman leaving the home with “apparent injuries,” according to a police news release.
