Jaylin Reed, 22, was shot and killed on Timbertop Lane in Fosters, Alabama, in the early hours of October 31, 2023. Deputies from the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff’s Office found Reed about 6:30 a.m.; a deputy who was also a paramedic began lifesaving efforts but Reed was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Tuscaloosa Violent Crimes Unit led the investigation and quickly made arrests. On the evening of October 31 a 20-year-old, Tywann Long, was charged with murder in connection with Reed’s death. Investigators said the shooting appeared related to the sale or possession of illegal narcotics and warned further arrests were possible. On November 9, 2023, 22-year-old Justin Rubin was also charged with murder and held in the county jail without bond. The investigation remained ongoing.
