Overview

• Detectives identified the alleged gunman four years after the shooting and booked the suspect on suspicion of murder this week.
• The victim, 23-year-old Reginald Mitchell, was found on July 21, 2021 inside a parked car near Casey Street and Appian Drive after a caller reported a foul odor and bullet holes.
• Investigators believe Mitchell had been shot several days before his body was discovered, and neighbors reported hearing possible gunfire around that time.
• Police say the suspect was already in custody on an unrelated juvenile matter when arrested in connection with the killing.
• Authorities have released no suspected motive and say Mitchell and the suspect are believed to have been strangers; Mitchell had been living in the vehicle for months.
