Dexter Reed Shooting
Before he was killed in a gunfight with CPD, Dexter Reed was shot as he attacked his uncle with a knife
Details of the earlier shooting, which haven’t previously been reported, provide a clearer picture of a troubled man who struggled with his mental health before he was killed in a hail of gunfire during a traffic stop in Humboldt Park last month.
