Antony Lorenzo Reid was 14 and a student at Memorial Middle School when he was found shot near JR Street and Star Bright Drive in Orange County on April 20, 2019. He was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead after what investigators say began as an attempted illegal firearm sale that went wrong.

Antony had arranged to sell a gun to 16-year-old Manuel Rosado. Rosado was arrested and charged with first-degree murder; court filings show he later pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and received a 29-year sentence.

Antony’s death had a profound effect on his family and community and drew attention because of the victims’ ages and the circumstances of the transaction. If anyone knew Antony, his movements that day, or has information about the case, please come forward.
