Milwaukee Man Arrested for 1991 Murder in Indiana
GARY, Ind.--On Nov. 26, 1991, John Thomas Currie, was found stabbed to death, stabbed multiple times in fact, inside his apartment on Carolina St. in Gary. Currie, 35, was found by family members. Tuesday the FBI arrested the man they believe killed him, more than 30 years after the murder.
Quentin Maurice Smith, 50, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, was charged with the murder on June 17, and arrested Tuesday by investigators from the FBI Milwaukee Area Violent Crimes Task Force and GRIT.
GRIT is the Gang Response Investigative Team. They began investigating the Currie case in 2021.
Investigators looked at the case again, this time comparing DNA evidence found at and around the crime scene, and determining Smith was the man they were looking for.
He is awaiting extradition back to Lake County.
