I think it's probably an invented name without a specific meaning. The article says he's African-American, and invented names are quite common in the African-American community.

He is Algee Smith IV. That means the first Algee Smith was probably his great-grandfather, who most probably was born before 1934, and invented names were only slightly more common in the African-American community at that point than the were among White Americans.
