Nigel Reynolds was 27 when he was found shot and later pronounced dead on June 9, 2022. Officers responded after reports of a man with a gun and gunfire at the intersection of Byron and Kirkwood streets on Youngstown’s East Side; residents flagged down police and led them to an unknown man in a detached garage. He was taken to St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital, where he was pronounced dead and the Mahoning County Coroner’s Office ruled the death a homicide.

Detectives and the coroner’s office investigated the scene, collected multiple pieces of evidence, and submitted those items to the state crime lab for analysis. Nigel was born June 19, 1994, and was remembered by family as an ASL driver who enjoyed dancing, spending time with his children and friends, and making people laugh. The Youngstown Police Department says the investigation is ongoing and requests anyone with information to contact them.
