Police said the man, who has not yet been named, then opened fire, killing Smith in front of her son.
“The guy zig-zagged in the street, and he also hit her,” JoAnne Luckett, Smith’s mother, told Fox 6. “She went out to look to see what was going on.”
The suspect fled from the scene but police arrested him Monday, WTMJ reported. Her 17-year-old son drove her to the hospital where she later died.
“She went to work every day,” Luckett said. “She made a life for her and her sons. I wake up every morning and it’s like, ‘Wow. Tracey is not here.’ I hate it.”
Funeral arrangements have not yet been finalized.
