Jerry Williams Reyes, 32, was killed in Tacoma on the night of October 9, 2022. He was found in the driver’s seat of a vehicle in the 5200 block of South M Street with a fatal gunshot wound to the back; an 18-year-old female passenger was also shot and survived. First responders reached the scene about 10:10 p.m. and found the car had struck an unoccupied vehicle. Despite life-saving efforts, Reyes died at the scene and the Pierce County Medical Examiner ruled his death a homicide.

Reyes worked as a union ironworker with Local 86 and is remembered by acquaintances as fun and funny; he had a stepdaughter. The Tacoma Police Department opened an investigation, but no arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced and the case remains unsolved.

If anyone knew Reyes, witnessed activity in the 5200 block of South M Street that night, or has information that could help investigators, please come forward.
