On the afternoon of April 30, 2022, officers responded to a reported shooting at the Villas de Fontenelle apartment complex on the 200 block of Rainbow Circle in Kokomo, Indiana. First responders found 17-year-old Jaylen Reed in a courtyard with two gunshot wounds; he was conscious and identified the shooter as his 14-year-old brother before being flown to an Indianapolis hospital, where he later died.

Police located the 14-year-old about a mile from the scene and took him into custody without incident; the firearm used in the shooting was not immediately recovered. The juvenile was held at the Kinsey Youth Center on a preliminary charge of murder, and prosecutors had not yet said whether the case would be considered for adult court.

Neighbors described hearing sounds different from typical gunfire and saw emergency vehicles arriving on the quiet residential street. Does anyone with information about Jaylen, the complex, or that afternoon’s events want to come forward?
