In the early hours of a Tuesday in August 2018, Kimberly Banks-Reynolds arrived home on Floyd Street in Portsmouth, Virginia, shortly before 2 a.m. and found her husband, Tommy Lamont Reynolds, 46, lying on the floor with a gunshot wound to his torso. Paramedics pronounced the Navy veteran dead at the scene. The initial investigation produced few immediate leads and no named suspect in the hours after the killing.

Tommy Reynolds was originally from New Orleans and had served as a cook in the Navy. His family described him as the funniest person you’ll meet, a husband of 30 years, father of three and grandfather of seven whose laugh and comforting ways were widely loved.

Detectives from the Portsmouth Police Department’s Fugitive Apprehension Unit and Street Crimes Unit later arrested 26-year-old Tommie L. Banks of Portsmouth; he was charged with first-degree murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Records show Tommie Banks pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was scheduled for sentencing in February of the following year.

If anyone knew Tommy Reynolds, his routines, or saw anything on Floyd Street that night, please come forward with information.
