Their bodies were found on Dec. 19, 2021, inside their Union Avenue Home. Hintt was found in the living room, and the two boys in the master bedroom, all three shot in the head.
According to prosecutors, Smith and Hintt were involved in selling marijuana, and Smith owed the other $10,000 at the time Hintt and his boys were killed.
Smith was seen exiting their home that same day, just after noon, taking the Ring doorbell off the door.
Prosecutors said that a person was seen driving Hintt’s stolen truck on the Chicago tollway. The next day, Smith went to meet a friend in Michigan, who later turned him in and called the police. He was arrested on December 21, 2021.
Smith, of Huntley, was charged with the crime in January 2022.
A seven day trial concluded this week in Boone County, with a jury finding Smith guilty on three counts of murder.
He faces a mandatory life sentence in prison. Sentencing is scheduled for July 10th, 2025.
