Maximiliun Reyes, 20, was shot at Ammann Park in Teaneck, New Jersey, on June 5, 2021. According to reports, Reyes called 911 about 3:59 p.m. to say he had been shot; officers found him at the park on 303 Fort Lee Road with a gunshot wound to his abdomen. He was taken to Hackensack University Medical Center and was pronounced dead there. He was initially reported as an Englewood resident, but was later identified as living in Teaneck.

The Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crimes Unit and the Teaneck Police Department investigated the killing and, after several months, identified another Teaneck resident, 20-year-old Jairrod Shannon, as a suspect. On October 27, 2021, Shannon was arrested and charged with murder, unlawful possession of a weapon, aggravated assault, and hindering apprehension; he was remanded to the Passaic County Jail pending his first court appearance in Hackensack.
