Westchester Man Sentenced For 2014 Execution-Style Shooting

MAMARONECK, NY — A Larchmont man will be going to prison for the 2014 execution-style shooting of a man outside an elementary school. Dwayne Reid, 48, of Larchmont, was sentenced to 25 years to life for the fatal shooting of Lamont Smith, 45, in the Bronx.

Reid was found guilty by a jury Dec. 13.

He received a sentence of 25 years to life for second-degree murder and 10 years in prison and five years post-release supervision for second-degree criminal possession of a weapon. He was sentenced by Bronx Supreme Court Justice Steven Barrett. The sentences will run concurrently.

According to trial testimony, Reid shot Smith three times, causing his death. A day before, Reid, who knew the victim, helped him move equipment for his business using a U-Haul van.

The next morning, Reid shot Smith with a .38-caliber revolver on East 229th Street and fled in the van.

He was arrested later that morning at his mother's home a short distance away. The murder weapon was recovered at his mother's home.

Authorities said it is not known why Reid shot Smith. There was a series of phone calls from him to Smith, beginning at about 5 a.m. on the day of the shooting.

According to the court, Reid declared himself a sovereign citizen and rejected the court's authority to conduct his trail. He was assigned five different lawyers, which cause the trial to be delayed numerous times.
