Steven William Reed, 27, was shot and killed at the entryway of a home on Locust Street in Newark, Arkansas, just after daybreak on July 9, 2018. Court filings describe Reed arriving to pick up Jammie Venable; when he stepped inside the foyer after being told the door was open, shots were fired through the doorway and Reed was found within a few feet of the threshold with no weapon on him. Witnesses and physical evidence recorded bullet strikes in the doorway and supported a narrative of a volatile confrontation tied to a recent breakup.

John M. Goodman, then 33, told Venable he would shoot Reed or himself, retrieved a pistol from his bedroom, and later admitted firing in a heat of the moment. He was detained at the scene, booked on a first-degree murder charge, and prosecutors later outlined the sequence of events in filings. On March 21, 2019, Goodman pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and received a 28-year sentence.

Does anyone have information about Steven Reed’s movements that morning or witnessed the events at 1265 Locust Street?
