On November 11, 2016, 57-year-old Charlotte Silby Reed was murdered in her Oakland home on Dunbar Drive. Police responding to reports of gunfire found Reed shot twice and stabbed more than 40 times. Her wife, Patricia Wright, was also found inside the house with two gunshot wounds and multiple stab wounds. Their 19-year-old son, Benny Diambu-Wright, was discovered outside the home, fatally shot. The residence had been set on fire in an apparent attempt to destroy evidence.

Investigators arrested 61-year-old Dana Rivers at the scene; she was reportedly covered in blood and smelled of gasoline. Prosecutors connected the killings to Rivers’s role as an enforcer for an all-female motorcycle gang called the Deviants and to a dispute after Reed briefly joined the club in 2016. Threatening messages from the club president to Reed were introduced at trial as part of the motive. Does anyone have information about Reed’s life in Oakland or contacts who might shed light on her relationship with the Deviants?
