CINCINNATI — A family man, an advocate for veterans and always willing to help others. That’s how loved ones of Charles Smith, 55, are remembering him after he was shot and killed last Friday in South Cumminsville. “He’s one of those men that, to have known him, you loved him,” said Carlton Collins, the godson of Smith. Smith was shot in the 1700 block of Elmore Road in South Cumminsville just before midnight on Friday, June 13.
