George Allen Reed, 50, was fatally shot in an alley in South Bend, Indiana, on March 1, 2013. A United States Army veteran and Washington High School graduate originally from Michigan City, Reed worked in lawn care and as a handyman and was remembered as a family-oriented, gentle man who enjoyed playing guitar and singing.

Reed was walking home from a nearby grocery store in the early morning when witnesses heard two gunshots. Police found him in the alley between Illinois and Wellington Streets near Western Avenue with a single fatal gunshot wound to the chest. Some bystanders reported seeing a person in a dark jacket flee north through the alley; police searched the area but made no arrest.

Detectives were unable to develop significant leads and the case went cold, leaving Reed’s family without resolution. Did anyone in the neighborhood recognize the person seen running from the scene or have information that could reopen the investigation?
