Roy Reed, a 20-year-old African American from Lubbock, Texas, was shot and killed during a fight at Burns Park on March 8, 2017. Born February 6, 1997, in Abilene, he graduated from Monterey High School, worked jobs including at Subway and Texas Tech, and was a father to two children, Elani Lanae Reed and Roy Devin Reed, Jr. He was in a relationship with Chyanne Villarreal.

The fight reportedly began as a feud between two other young men on social media and escalated into a large group altercation. Roy was attempting to break up the fight when multiple gunshots were fired and he was struck. Witnesses said several shots were fired. No arrests have been made and the family has expressed frustration with the investigation, saying they believe important evidence may have been overlooked and that they have a lead that has not produced action.

Anyone who knew Roy, was at Burns Park that day, or has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
