She had been shot multiple times in the head.

Smith has been charged with murder and related offenses in this case. A warrant has been issued for his arrest.

According to the FBI, Smith has connections to New Castle, Delaware; Greensboro, North Carolina; the Little Haiti neighborhood of Miami, Florida; and Atlanta, Georgia.

Brice and Smith were last seen at K Laundry in Yeadon on the day she was reported missing.

Investigators believe Smith fatally shot Brice inside his car. That car was found engulfed in flames in the area of 59th and Florence streets in Southwest Philadelphia.
