''GREENVILLE, S.C. —
Family and friends marched Saturday evening to honor the life of Cobey Smith, a 16-year-old shot and killed five years ago off Clark Street in Greenville.
Investigators said Smith, who would now be 21 years old, was shot and killed on the Sliding Rock Creek trail in Greenville. It was only a stone's throw away from where he lived in Nicholtown.''
''Niki said she can't imagine why anyone would have wanted to hurt the teen, who at the time, was a student at Wade Hampton High School.
"He was a good person, no doubt. It's just so hard. (His killer/killers) have to really give me a real strong reason as to why his life didn't have no value to them," she said. "I don't understand.''
