The victim’s aunt said her son is one of the suspects police arrested, but she said he is innocent.
“My nephew is fighting for his life, and my son is in jail for something he didn’t do. To them kids that came over here with those guns, why?” the aunt said.
Reed’s aunt believes the shooting was planned.
