A Clovis man has been convicted of child abuse after shooting his daughter in July of 2023. Police say Jeffrey Smiley opened fire on his ex-wife’s car after finding out earlier that day that the couple’s divorce had been finalized in court. The ruling meant that Smiley would not be allowed to see or visit his 7 year old daughter. When he fired the gun, the child was struck and severely wounded, but survived. Smiley will be sentenced at a later date.
