Warden Reeves had left his home around dark to carry a load of cotton pickers to their homes. About an hour later, Warden Reeves was found dead in his wagon. He had been shot in the head with a buckshot.
A warrant was never issued in this case, although there was strong circumstantial evidence pointing to the murderer.
Warden Reeves was survived by his wife.
