Andrea Reynolds, 28, was killed in the early morning hours of December 16, 2021, at a home on Ranger Drive in North Charleston, South Carolina. Around 2:30 a.m. she made a frantic 911 call saying her boyfriend, David Beaufort, was overdosing. First responders, including Officer Jamie Sylvester, arrived about 2:35 a.m. and were met with gunfire as they entered the residence.

Beaufort, then 39, had been in a bathroom with Reynolds and fired four times at emergency personnel. Officers did not return fire. Reynolds was struck by multiple gunshots and pronounced dead at the scene. Beaufort was taken into custody, told emergency medical services he had been drinking Everclear and smoking marijuana laced with cocaine, and was charged with murder, attempted murder, and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime.

A court-ordered mental examination found Beaufort could distinguish right from wrong; he testified at trial beginning November 3, claiming self-defense. The jury rejected that claim, convicted him of murder and attempted murder, and he was sentenced following the verdict. Does anyone have information about Andrea’s movements that night or about witnesses who were at the Ranger Drive residence?
