Rodney Gene Reynolds, 53, was shot fatally in Jackson on the morning of February 16, 2021. Police found him on the south side of Randolph Street near Sparks Park after reports of shots fired close to Cascades Park. He suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the head, torso, and leg and was taken to Henry Ford Allegiance Health, where he later died.

A witness described a woman walking away from the scene. Officers located 29-year-old Antrana Ladell Brown in the 1900 block of West High Street and found a handgun in her possession. She was arrested and arraigned on open murder and felony firearm charges. Prosecutors said no prior relationship between Brown and Reynolds was known and that the shooting appeared random.

Reynolds was a lifelong Jackson resident who spent more than thirty years caring for the mentally ill with Christ Centered Homes, produced hip-hop and rap music, and is survived by his wife, children, and stepchildren. Does anyone have information about the area near Sparks Park that morning or knew Rodney?
