The slaying of Riley, a district bus driver for 14 years, shook her co-workers, who gathered outside her apartment near Military Trail and Belvedere Road after word spread of her death. In 1993 he also served a few months in prison on cocaine possession charges. He was released from prison in 2001 after serving four years on charges of robbery and aggravated assault, according to the Department of Corrections. Smith, 48, is expected to appear before a judge Friday morning, sheriff’s spokeswoman Teri Barbera said. Johnson says Smith slammed the door shut before Riley’s screams stopped. I ran and I pulled out my phone and called the police.” “I heard her calling my name,” Johnson said, sobbing. Once she did, he stabbed the 53-year-old woman to death, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, which arrested him on a first-degree murder charge - the 80th homicide in the county this year, according to a Palm Beach Post database. Riley’s ex-boyfriend, Willie Lee Smith Jr., had broken into her Glenwood Drive apartment and was waiting for her to come home. “As soon as she walked in, I heard the screaming,” Johnson said.
She and Gloria Jean Riley, her fellow Palm Beach County School District bus driver, were on their lunch break Thursday and had left the Summit Boulevard bus compound to pick up Chinese food and stop at Riley’s apartment west of the city limits. Lillie Johnson can’t get her friend’s bloodcurdling scream out of her head.
