Reid’s funeral today

His mother, Karen Henry, told Newsday that family members abroad requested that his funeral be pushed back to today, so that they could have time to come into the country, and pay their final respects. She said that family members are still reeling from his death, but are waiting to say their final goodbyes to the slain man.

Newsday made attempts to reach out to the woman for whom Reid was killed, however she said she could not talk because she was busy.

Police still have not charged the man who was detained for questioning in relation with Reid’s murder. He is said to still be in police custody.

On Tuesday, at about 8 am, Reid was struck with his own vehicle while in a fracas with his girlfriend’s former lover.
