Latoya Reeves, 49, was shot and killed in her Birwood Street home in Detroit in the early hours of July 6, 2026. Police found her in the hallway shortly after 2 a.m. with gunshot wounds to her chest and right hand. Paramedics transported her to a local hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

Investigators arrested Reeves’ live-in boyfriend, 69-year-old Keith Custer, and the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office charged him with one count of first-degree murder, one count of felon in possession of a firearm, one count of felon in possession of ammunition, and three counts of felony firearm. Custer was arraigned on July 9, 2026, remanded to jail without bond, and ordered to undergo a competency evaluation. A Probable Cause Conference was scheduled for July 20, 2026, with a Preliminary Examination set for July 27, 2026. The motive has not been released.

Does anyone in Detroit have information about Reeves, her household, or the circumstances that night?
