Jazmyn Reed, a 30-year-old Black woman, was shot and later died on January 14, 2024, after being found inside a car on the Jones Falls Expressway near Exit 3 in Baltimore. She sustained a gunshot wound to her face and was transported to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center, where she succumbed to her injuries.

The only suspect was her 27-year-old boyfriend, Christopher Lee, who was in the vehicle and called 911. Lee told police a verbal argument escalated and that Reed reached for his legally owned handgun kept under a seat; he said the weapon discharged during a struggle. Lee was arrested at the scene and charged with second-degree murder and other offenses.

At trial the prosecution said the evidence showed an intentional act rather than an accident, noting Lee did not immediately render aid and that the wound’s nature was inconsistent with an accidental discharge. The defense argued the shooting was a tragic accident and that Lee had called for help. Are there witnesses or additional details anyone in Baltimore remembers from that January morning?
