Donald Reed was 35 and a father from the Bronx when he was shot and killed in the early morning of December 26, 2015, after leaving a party at the Smoke House, a club in South Jamaica, Queens. Reed and friends walked toward a nearby bodega on Guy R. Brewer Boulevard around 6:30 a.m. and were followed. An exchange of gunfire occurred; Reed was hit four times, taken to Jamaica Hospital, and died of his injuries. The motive was described as unclear to prosecutors.

Two men identified in the case were Neon Osouna, the 38-year-old owner of the Smoke House, and his cousin Brandon Williams, a 37-year-old bouncer. They were arrested and later tried; a jury found both guilty of murder and criminal possession of a weapon, and they received lengthy prison terms. Anyone who knew Donald Reed or saw that morning on Guy R. Brewer Boulevard is asked to share what they remember.
