On the afternoon of October 2, 2024, 40-year-old Kavon Reid of Yonkers was fatally shot while walking along East 198th Street in the Bedford Park section of the Bronx. Police say an assailant, described as a male with a dark complexion who wore a gray hoodie, black pants, gray sneakers and a blue face mask, approached Reid at about 1:47 p.m., appeared to recognize him, then fired multiple shots. Reid was struck in the back, with bullets hitting his chest and leg; he ran about a block before collapsing near Bainbridge Avenue and was pronounced dead at St. Barnabas Hospital.

Reid was a father of three and a member of the anti-gun violence advocacy group BRAG. His daughter, Hevyn Reid, described him as a good person and her best friend who will be deeply missed. The NYPD reviewed nearby surveillance footage as part of the investigation; the motive remains under investigation.
