Reginald D’Wayne Hawkins, a 30-year-old Black man from Evansville, Indiana, was killed on June 5, 2010. Remembered by family as a devoted father, son and brother with a winning smile, his death remains an open and painful loss for those who knew him.

Official accounts of the incident are inconsistent. One report names a Reginald Reggie Hawkins, age 31, as having been fatally shot in his apartment on June 5, 2011, during a struggle with two intruders described as thin Black males who fled the scene.

There is little public information beyond these conflicting details and the lack of resolution.
