Demontravis Moochie Devonte Reid was 25 when he was shot and killed on April 14, 2021, around midnight on Wilkinson Boulevard in Charlotte, North Carolina. Paramedics found him suffering and bleeding on the street and pronounced him dead at the scene. The shooting prompted an active search for suspects.

Investigators later identified 31-year-old Joseph Banks, already incarcerated on unrelated charges, and on August 16, 2022 he was served warrants charging him with murder and possession of a firearm by a felon in connection with Reid’s death. Records indicate Banks had gone to prison about May 2021 on drug and probation violation charges; the murder accusation came more than a year after the killing.

Family members say Demontravis, who had children, had a criminal past and time in prison but they believe he was trying to turn his life around. Does anyone have information about Demontravis that could help piece together what happened that night?
