Gage Cameron Reynolds, 28, of the Augusta area, was found shot in the front yard of a home on Valdes Drive in Martinez on the morning of September 4, 2020. An obituary lists his birth as January 17, 1992, and his occupation as a mechanic, but the scene that day was far from a private funeral notice: authorities described a baffling, early-morning homicide with no witnesses initially identified.

Investigators later said Reynolds did not appear to be targeted over any known personal dispute. Instead, authorities reported he crossed paths with a group allegedly committing entering-auto crimes in the neighborhood, and that the encounter turned fatal. Five people were identified and charged with murder: Tyquan Rouse, Tyrese Rouse, Bristan Curry, Montell Harling, and Jaylon Herrin. Court-calendar entries show some of the named defendants appearing on later criminal dockets.

Does anyone have information about Reynolds, his movements that night, or witnesses who might have seen activity on Valdes Drive before dawn?
