On the evening of November 21, 2018, in Beloit, Wisconsin, 49-year-old Hispanic male Jose Reyes was inside a residence when he was shot multiple times. The incident occurred at approximately 8:15 p.m. Emergency services were dispatched to the scene, and Reyes was transported to a local hospital for treatment. Despite the efforts of medical personnel, he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead.
