Daughter kills father on day he provides her a car

BALTIMORE, MD – A quiet neighborhood in Northwest Baltimore was shattered by a family tragedy over the weekend as a domestic dispute escalated into a fatal shooting. Chanelle Reid, 37, has been charged with first-degree murder following the death of her father, Brian Reid, 59, outside their home on Groveland Avenue.

The incident unfolded when police first responded to a call from Brian Reid, who reported that his daughter had changed the locks on the house, effectively barring him from entry. Less than an hour later, Chanelle contacted authorities, claiming her father had assaulted her. By the time officers arrived, Brian Reid lay dead, having been shot twice as he attempted to open the door.

Long-time friend Lamont Queen expressed disbelief over the tragedy, recounting how Brian had often spoken about his daughter’s mental health struggles. “He wanted to help her,” Queen said. “I never imagined it would end like this.”

Brian Reid was known for his dedication to his daughter’s well-being, even going so far as to sleep in his car to give her space and independence. On the day of his death, he had been helping Chanelle with her vehicle, attempting to provide her with a means of transportation.

The tragic event has left many in the community, including Queen, questioning how such a situation could have escalated to this point. “He did so much for her,” Queen reflected. “I can’t understand why it came to this.”

Chanelle Reid’s actions may have been influenced by stress, as she had recently let her children move in with their father. The added pressure might have contributed to the fateful decision she made that day.

As the investigation continues, the community grapples with the loss of a man remembered for his generosity and commitment to his family. Meanwhile, Chanelle faces the consequences of her actions, with the legal process set to determine her fate.

The tragic events have sparked a broader conversation about mental health and family dynamics, highlighting the need for awareness and support in preventing similar incidents.
