Reco Rashad Sales was 27 when he was shot on August 11, 2017, in Decatur, Alabama, and later died at Decatur Morgan Hospital. His funeral-home obituary records a life rooted in Decatur: born January 23, 1990, to Vivian Sales and Rodney Reed, a student at Austin High School, raised in St. James C.P. Church in America, and involved with Decatur Youth Enrichment.

Much of the original local reporting is now hard to access, leaving gaps about motive, circumstances, and any subsequent investigative steps.

Did anyone who knew Reco or was in Decatur that night see or hear anything that could help fill in those gaps?
