Michael Deandre Reed, 41, was shot and killed inside an apartment in the 4600 block of Lake Avenue near the Medical District in Dallas on October 4, 2024, at about 6:10 p.m. Police found him unresponsive with multiple gunshot wounds; Dallas Fire and Rescue pronounced him dead at the scene. Investigators say Reed had a disagreement with a person known by the aliases Nook or Lee, and witnesses reported that the suspect produced a firearm and shot Reed before fleeing.

Detectives later recovered surveillance footage showing a person of interest walking toward the scene while attempting to conceal their face, a detail that matched witness descriptions. No arrest had been announced as of December 27, 2024, and the case remains active. Funeral services were held October 26, 2024, in Wichita; Reed is survived by his daughter Ashley Reed, his parents Edward and Cynthia Reed, and siblings.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Paul Johnson at 214-671-3616 or [email protected], or submit an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers. Did anyone in the Dallas Medical District area see the person in the released footage that evening?
