Police said Smith was involved in a fight with his granddaughter, 20-year-old Kassandra Scharff, when she picked up a knife and stabbed him.
Smith was pronounced dead at the scene Scharff was arrested.
Scharff was taken to the Roger D. Wilson Detention Facility where she is being held on a $100,000 bond.
