Naya Reynolds was a 22-year-old Western Michigan University student studying criminal justice and described by family as generous and full of energy. On the night of August 26, 2022, she was a passenger in a Dodge Durango in Portage, Michigan, driven by her father. Also in the vehicle were 35-year-old Zahkia Bryant and Bryant’s 18-month-old daughter.

The father lost control while trying to flee onto Interstate 94 and crashed near the Oakland Drive on-ramp. The gunman exited his vehicle and continued shooting; Naya was struck and killed as she tried to get out of the wreck. Bryant and her toddler were wounded and survived; Bryant’s unborn child did not survive.

Investigators identified the shooter as Myquan Deontae Rogers, then 31. After a warrant, Rogers was arrested on November 17, 2022, at an Oshtemo Township apartment and charged with multiple felonies, including open murder and three counts of attempted murder; the case was bound over to circuit court after a judge found sufficient evidence. If anyone knew Naya, her movements that night, or has information about the chase, please share what is known.
