17-year-old shot dead in Bowie, Maryland – NBC4 Washington

A teenager was shot and killed Monday night in the Lake Arbor neighborhood of Bowie, Maryland. Prince George’s County police identified the victim as 17-year-old Re’Sheed Reid.

Police are still trying to determine the motive and identify suspects.

“A little sad because it was so close to my home and nothing is happening here again,” said Ron Bell, who lives in the area.

Neighbors reported that Reid was walking down the street when a car pulled up and opened fire, knocking Reid to the ground.

Police said the shooting occurred around 6:30 p.m. When police arrived, they found the teenager in the street.

“It makes me think of the younger generation because like I said, I’m 23, so I’m not that far ahead of him. This is happening to him at that age, he didn’t really get to live his life,” said neighbor Kobe Vanzego. “It’s really sad for the family, I mean, they have my condolences, my prayers and so on.”

Vanzego said Reid went to Flowers High School and was a few years behind him in school.

He and other neighbors said they are still trying to come to terms with the loss…

“He’s a young guy who wants to achieve great things and just move forward in life,” Vanzego said.

“It’s kind of ridiculous that all this is happening to these young people these days. It’s like they have no remorse and they don’t care about anything, you know,” Bell said.

Investigators are offering a $25,000 reward for any information leading to an arrest and indictment in this case.
