On a day in February 2016 in Oklahoma City, 78-year-old James Earl Reed and his wife Sharon Reed were found dead in their home, which also operated as an in-home daycare. The couple’s grandchildren and other children in their care were located unharmed in a separate garage area and apparently did not witness the killings.

Concern for the couple’s welfare began after a neighbor spoke with their 20-year-old grandson, Quinton Dashawn Laster, who lived at the residence; the neighbor then called 911. When officers performed a welfare check they discovered James and Sharon Reed deceased. The investigation reported that both had been shot and decapitated. Officers encountered Laster at the scene and he was arrested; he was later charged with two counts of first-degree murder. Family members said they were shocked and one suggested Laster may have been under the influence of drugs, while noting no known history of mental illness.

Does anyone have information about the Reeds, the home daycare, or the events that led up to that February day?
