Steven Hurston was shot to death while apparently attempting to rob another man on Hamill Road on March 26, 2016. 
Taylor Smith, 20
A 30-year-old Chattanooga man who shot and killed a 19-year-old man in March will not face criminal charges in the slaying, according to police.
Investigators decided Joshua Smith acted within the law when he shot Steven Hurston 11 times at a Hixson apartment complex March 26.
Police believe Hurston and a woman lured Smith to the complex and tried to rob him at gunpoint, but Smith shot Hurston instead.
The woman, 20-year-old Taylor Smith, has been arrested and charged with attempted aggravated robbery. Joshua Smith, who is not related to Taylor Smith, told police that he connected with the woman on backpage.com, a website where users solicit sex for money.
They arranged to meet just after midnight at an apartment complex at 1625 Hamill Road, records show. But as the pair walked toward the complex, Hurston appeared from beside a duplex, pointed a gun at Joshua Smith and demanded money.
