Crandall Jack Reed, 51, was shot and killed on November 16, 2007, while working as a taxi driver in Jacksonville, Florida. At about 3:30 a.m. he pulled his Yellow Cab into the parking lot of the Boy Scouts of America building on Edgewood Avenue. An unknown vehicle then pulled in front of his taxi, apparently to block him in; when Reed tried to drive away someone jumped out and began shooting. He drove several blocks to a convenience store before collapsing on the steering wheel and was later pronounced dead at a hospital.

Reed was a 20-year U.S. Navy veteran and is remembered as a devoted worker and family man, particularly close to his grandchildren. The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office has not identified suspects, and community groups including Project Cold Case and the Jacksonville Transportation Authority have offered rewards for tips that could lead to an arrest. Authorities continue to appeal for information that might solve the case and bring closure to his widow, Terri, and the family.

If anyone has information about Reed’s last fares, the unknown vehicle seen at the scene, or anything unusual in that area on the night of November 16, 2007, please contact the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
