A young woman who was shot and paralyzed is forever changed by an incident in which she played no direct role. Crime Stoppers has issued a reward with information that leads to the arrest of the person(s) responsible.
On Thursday, May 27, 2010 at approximately 11:57 p.m., Alexandria Reese was driving westbound on Atcheson and Trevitt Streets with her friend. According to reports, this was not her intended route, but Reese was lost and was in the process of turning around.
As Reese went through the intersection, she and her friend heard what they thought were fireworks, but instead were gunshots. Reese was shot once in the neck which instantly paralyzed her from the neck down, causing her to lose control of her vehicle and crash into a parked car.
Investigators have determined those involved in the shooting were targeting a group of individuals across the street.
Reese just happened to drive into the line of fire and was shot.
