Jeffery Neal Reed III was 22 when he died at Mercy Hospital in Lorain on May 10, 2022, after being shot. He was born April 27, 2000, and is survived by his children Malachai and Dynasty Reed, parents LaKeisha Brown and Jeffery Neal Reed II, siblings Larry Joe Moore, Allen Tate, Amarion Tate, Jay’aun Reed and Serenity Reed, step-brothers Tae Miles and Antoine Miles, and other relatives.

Police say the shooting left Reed at the hospital, and that a 21-year-old man named Marquis Smallwood was arrested the next day, May 11, 2022. Authorities report Smallwood was also treated and released from the hospital as a gunshot victim shortly after Reed’s arrival. The investigation remained ongoing and investigators asked anyone with information to come forward.

Does anyone have additional information about the shooting or knew Jeffery and can help shed light on what happened?
