Reginald Haley: A Detailed Account of His Crimes

Background

Reginald Haley, born in 1960 in Memphis, Tennessee, moved with his family to Los Angeles, California, around 1965. Alongside his younger brother, Kevin Haley, born in 1963, Reginald embarked on a criminal career characterized by a series of violent offenses, including burglaries, rapes, and murders. Their criminal activities spanned from 1982 to 1984, primarily targeting elderly women in the Los Angeles area.

Criminal Activities

The Haley brothers were implicated in numerous heinous crimes, with Reginald often acting in concert with Kevin. Their modus operandi typically involved "hot prowl" burglaries, where they broke into occupied homes at night, leading to assaults and, in several cases, murders. Investigations linked them to approximately 500 burglaries, at least 60 assaults involving rape, and multiple murders during their crime spree.
