Richard R. Reeves was 53 when he was fatally shot at an apartment complex in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, on December 11, 2019. A white male originally from Decatur, Michigan, he worked as a self-employed general contractor who did tree trimming and roofing. The Cape Girardeau Police Department classified his death as a homicide and opened an investigation.

Two days later, on December 13, 2019, authorities arrested Thomas Q. Bean at a residence on South Sprigg Street in Cape Girardeau and charged him with Reeves’s murder. The case went to trial and the jury returned a not guilty verdict, concluding the criminal proceedings in this homicide.
