I remember this happening. I was 8 years old and both him and his partner were so nice to us kids. For years growing up I would have nightmares about the shooting. I can’t for certain what actually did happen but us kids did not believe it to be an accident. Why that’s what we felt? I don’t know! But it scared me for all of my youth well into my late 20’s to the point I couldn’t substantiate if it actually happened or not. But, today after watching a movie it triggered my memory and I decided to research and see it there was a report in the earth 70’s. Well I found the story! And I was relieved that I wasn’t a bad kid after all. I was really damaged by that shooting and it did scare me as a little boy. I had so many fond memories of him and his partner playing and joking around with us kids in the housing projects. R. I.P ofc Reynolds

Daddy I’m so proud of you as tears roll down on my face with great appreciation and love. You’ve left an incredible legacy of service for all to see, but what you left most was beautiful memories with our little family.
I will never get over you being shot and killed on duty by a fellow officer. (smh)
Thank you for walking with me everyday.
I love you,
your youngest daughter,

On today, the 50th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your Community but for our Country as well when you served with the USAF during the Vietnam War. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
