Curtis Reed, a 39-year-old Caucasian man, was shot to death in the front yard of an East Valley home in Mesa, Arizona, on August 15, 2018. The shooting occurred near Main Street and Ellsworth Road at a residence near 91st Way and East Butternut Drive that he reportedly shared with his fiancée and her father. Deputies found Reed with gunshot wounds; he was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced deceased.

Investigators quickly identified a suspect, David Motley, who was described as armed and dangerous and was the subject of a wanted bulletin. After a few days on the run, Motley was found and taken into custody near 86th Street and Main Street in Mesa. He was booked into the 4th Avenue Jail and charged with second-degree murder and misconduct involving weapons. The motive has not been disclosed, and Reed’s family made public appeals for justice.

If anyone knew Curtis, his movements that night, or has information about the shooting, please share what is known.
