Joseph Charles Reise, 58, was found unresponsive in his Lee Avenue home in Ferguson, a suburb of Saint Louis, Missouri, on Tuesday, May 10, 2016, the victim of a fatal gunshot wound. He worked as an electrician and was a father and grandfather. Police questioned a relative as the investigation unfolded and quickly focused on one of Joseph’s sons, Jesse M. Reise. Jesse Reise was taken into custody and charged with second-degree murder; he was held at the St. Louis County Justice Center on a $500,000 cash-only bond. A visitation for Joseph was held on May 18.

Joseph’s relatives and neighbors have been left to process that a domestic family gathering ended in deadly violence. If anyone has information about Joseph, his movements that day, or the relationship dynamics in the family, please share what is known.
