Haley Reedy

Haley Reedy was a 15-year-old White female student at Millington Central High School who loved to sing and had her whole life planned out. Her older sister, Krista, called her a best friend and "the light in the day," remembering how they would perform solos together on the football field as part of the school's band and color guard. Her mother, Brandee, said Haley loved her friends and life in general before a phone call changed everything.

On September 11, 2022, Haley was at a residence on Clear Creek Drive in Millington, Tennessee, with 18-year-old Seth Walls and another teenage girl. A single gunshot ended Haley’s life. Walls initially told investigators that he had been "messing with his gun" but had left the room when he heard the shot. However, the other girl present told police all three of them were sitting on the couch when the gun fired.

An autopsy by the Shelby County Medical Examiner determined that Haley died from a gunshot wound to the back of her head, with the bullet entering behind her right ear and exiting her left temple at a downward angle. The medical examiner ruled her death a homicide, stating that the wound could not have been self-inflicted. Based on this evidence, investigators arrested Seth Walls and charged him with reckless homicide and reckless endangerment.

Despite the charges, Walls was released from the Shelby County Jail in less than 24 hours after posting a $10,000 bond. The decision outraged Haley’s family, who feared he was a danger to the community. At the time of the shooting, Walls was already out on bond for allegedly assaulting another teenage girl weeks earlier. Haley’s parents, David and Brandee Reedy, became vocal advocates for justice, expressing their grief and determination to see Walls held accountable.

In the following months, a Shelby County grand jury upgraded the charges in Haley’s case to second-degree murder and reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon. Walls was also indicted in May 2023 on aggravated assault charges related to another young woman. When he failed to appear for a bond arraignment on the assault charges in June 2023, a warrant was issued for his arrest, and he became a fugitive.

For years, Haley’s family fought to keep her case in the public eye, using social media to share her story. Their efforts paid off when a tipster recognized Walls from an online post. In September 2026, Seth Walls was captured by U.S. Marshals and Interpol in Ljubljana, Slovenia. As of September 2026, he is detained in Slovenia and awaiting extradition back to Shelby County to face the charges against him.
