On the morning of May 1, 2025, gunfire erupted at a home near 101st and Oregon Avenues in West Phoenix. Officers who responded to 911 calls just before noon found 61-year-old Reginald Reggie Anderson suffering at least one gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Neighbors reported the shots and witnesses at the scene later identified the shooter as Anderson’s daughter, 33-year-old Reilan Anderson.

Investigators say Reilan drove from her home in Maricopa to her father’s Phoenix residence that day, then fled after the shooting; she was later located in Maricopa and taken into custody. At an initial court appearance Reilan denied involvement. Her stepmother and spouse of 20 years, Tanesha Anderson, told the court Reilan had hunted her through the house and tried to harm her, an allegation leading to an aggravated assault charge in addition to first-degree murder for Reginald Anderson. Reilan’s attorney noted a history of mental health treatment and prior suicidal thoughts; the prosecutor argued premeditation and danger to the community. Bail was set at $1 million cash.

Police say they are not seeking any other suspects. Did anyone in the neighborhood or anyone who knew the family see Reilan in the days before May 1?
