10 minutes after that shooting near Wax House on the East Canal, City cops had to respond to another murder in the Jane Usher Boulevard area.
This time the victim was 22 year-old Preston Reynolds Jr., a resident of Jane Usher Boulevard, and police say that he was riding his bike in that area when he was ambushed by gunmen who shot him to the back of the head, the lower back, and the buttocks area. Reports are that Reynolds jumped off his bike, and he tried to flee into a nearby area off Jane Usher Boulevard, but his attackers pursued him, shot him several times more, and then fled the scene.
This morning, the Acting Police Commissioner was very brief on the details of his murder:
