Gregory C. Reed, a 60-year-old Black man and U.S. Army veteran from Apopka, Florida, was killed after a brief road‑rage encounter at a BP/Circle K in Ocoee on the evening of November 9, 2023. A near-collision between his Ford SUV and a silver Mercedes-Benz SUV led to a verbal exchange, and when Reed tried to drive out of the station the Mercedes passenger approached his vehicle and fired five shots, striking him multiple times. Reed’s SUV rolled into the adjacent Publix parking lot and hit a parked car; he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.

Reed was a father of four, grandfather of two, a former restaurant owner and long-time food‑industry worker who was delivering for Domino’s at the time. Family members remembered him as a devoted family man and youth football coach. Ocoee police later identified the Mercedes through surveillance images; those images prompted the vehicle’s renters to contact investigators and led to further phone-data evidence placing a man in the area and connecting him to the scene.

What information or memories do readers have about that gas station, the vehicles involved, or anyone who might have witnessed the encounter?
