Police said the shooting happened at about 6:30 p.m. When they arrived, they found the victim in the street.
“It makes me think about the younger generation ‘cause, like I said, I’m 23, so you know I’m not too far behind him. This happening to him at this age, he didn’t really get to live his life, “ said neighbor Kobe Vanzego. “It’s sad to the family for real. I mean, my condolences go out to them, my prayers."
Vanzego said Reid went to Flowers High School and was a few years behind him. He along with other neighbors said they’re still trying to make sense of the loss.
