On January 15, 2015, 18-year-old Donnie Reynolds was shot and killed in his apartment in Kokomo, Indiana. According to accounts, the confrontation began when former schoolmate Shane P. Cooper, upset about an ex-girlfriend’s new relationship and believing she was at Reynolds’ residence, arrived at the complex around 7:30 a.m. Cooper banged on the door and the encounter escalated from a verbal dispute into a physical struggle outside the unit.

During the scuffle the reports say Cooper’s .357 Magnum fell to the ground and both men reached for it. Cooper allegedly gained control of the gun, fired one shot that struck Reynolds, then left the scene. Reynolds was left critically injured and later died from his wounds.

Cooper later surrendered to Kokomo police. He pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter, a Level 2 felony, as part of a plea agreement that dismissed the original murder charge, and a judge sentenced him to 20 years in prison in late 2015.

Did anyone know Reynolds or have information about his relationships or movements the morning of January 15, 2015?
