Jackson J. Reyes Negron, 23, was fatally shot on February 26, 2022, in Reading, Pennsylvania. He was sitting in the passenger seat of his girlfriend’s car in the 1000 block of Green Street when her ex-boyfriend, Deivis Gutierrez-Garcia, allegedly pulled out a handgun and fired multiple rounds through the front windshield, striking Reyes Negron multiple times. Reyes Negron was taken to Reading Hospital trauma center and pronounced dead about two and a half hours after the shooting.

Gutierrez-Garcia, 21, was identified as the suspect and charged with first- and third-degree murder. He fled the city after the shooting and was later arrested in the Bronx; he is being held at Rikers Island awaiting extradition to Berks County. The killing occurred amid a spate of violence in Reading that produced seven homicides in a five-week period, troubling both the community and local authorities.

If anyone witnessed the shooting in the 1000 block of Green Street, or saw the vehicle involved before or after the attack, please share what is known.
