In the cold of a Detroit winter, just a day before he would have celebrated his 40th birthday, Curtis Reynolds was killed. On a violent weekend in January 2012, he became one of ten shooting victims in the city. Reynolds, a man who worked as a security guard at the Town Pump Tavern, was in the driveway of his mother's house on the 12000 block of Ohio Street when the sound of gunshots broke the stillness of the morning.
Inside the home, his mother heard the fatal shots that ended her
son's life. She described him as a quiet man who largely kept to himself and was dedicated to his work. The incident was recorded as a homicide on January 21, 2012, and occurred outside his mother's residence.
In the aftermath of the shooting, a reward of up to $1,000 was offered for information that could lead to an arrest in the case. Despite this, public online sources have not detailed any arrests or identified any suspects in connection with the death of Curtis Reynolds. His case was part of a particularly violent 72-hour period in Detroit that saw numerous other shootings.
