The police body camera footage set to release on Today may shed light on how the traffic stop resulted in a fatality.
Yesterday, his family watched the footage and they are expected to address the public at noon.
On March 21, five Chicago police officers pulled over Reed on the 3800-block of West Ferdinand Street around 6 p.m.
The police fired at least a dozen bullets at Reed’s SUV during the traffic stop.
He sustained critical injuries and passed away at Mt. Sinai Hospital.
Chicago police said an officer was also shot in the wrist but was in good condition and a gun was found at the scene.
Reed’s family had many questions about the encounter, including who fired shots and what was said between police and Reed.
Reed was facing charges for allegedly carrying a gun in his pants pocket while walking into a street festival at the time of this incident.
Less than two weeks before his fatal encounter with police, he was in court for the gun charge.
The conclusions and any recommendations come in a report from Chicago police that could take months to release.
