REVOLUTIONIZING HIP REPLACEMENT
SURGERY.
THANKS FOR JOINING US THIS
AFTERNOON.
THE MAN WHO WAS KILLED IN A CAR
CRASH AFTER FLEEING FROM POLICE
WAS WANTED ON TWO FELONY
WARRANTS.
THE 32-YEAR-OLD DIED AFTER
HE CRASHED HIS CAR INTO A TREE.
AN OFFICER PULLED HIM OVER JUST
AFTER 8:00 P.M.
HE SPED AWAY, THE OFFICER
FOLLOWED HIM AND WITHIN MINUTES
HE CRASHED NEAR THE
INTERSECTION OF HAM LIN AVENUE
AND WINY IN ST. PAUL.
THAT'S WHERE ANGELA DAVIS IS
RIGHT NOW.
YOU HAD A CHANCE TO SPEAK WITH
REED'S FAMILY TODAY.
HE STRUGGLED WITH CHEMICAL
DEPENDENCY AND HAD A HARD TIME
GETTING A JOB BECAUSE OF HIS
CRIMINAL RECORD AND HAD A
HISTORY OF CONVICTIONS FOR
CRIMINAL DAMAGE TO PROPERTY AS
WELL AS A MOTOR VEHICLE THEFT.
PLUS HE HAD TWO OUTSTANDING
FELONY WARRANTS FOR HIS ARREST
ONE FOR FLEEING POLICE AND
ANOTHER FOR CONTROLLED
SUBSTANCE POSSESSION.
HIS FAMILY THINKS HE GOT SCARED
WHEN HE WAS PULLED OVER BY
POLICE AND THAT'S WHY HE TOOK
OFF.
PEOPLE DO MAKE MISTAKES.
PEOPLE HAVE ISSUES ALL THE
TIME.
AND IT WASN'T--THIS DIDN'T HAVE
TO HAPPEN.
RYAN REEVES BROTHER, MOTHER
AND COUSIN ARE GRIEF STRICKEN
BUT DISAPPOINTED AND ANGRY.
WE HAVE WITNESSES SAYING
WHEN HE CRASHED THE CAR COPS
HAD THEIR GUNS DRAWN, NOBODY
WENT TO HELP HIM.
ST. ANTHONY POLICE SAY
OFFICERS AND OTHER EMERGENCY
RESPONDERS PROVIDED EMERGENCY
ATTENTION TO HE AND HIS
PASSENGER BUT HE WAS ULTIMATELY
PRONOUNCED DEAD.
A REGISTERED NURSE CAME TO
TRY TO SAVE HIM AND THE
OFFICERS TOLD HER NO GET AWAY
AND HAD THEIR GUNS DRAWN.
THE FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE MANY
MEMBERS OF A MAN WHO TRIED TO
BRING SMILES TO THEIR FACES AND
ALWAYS WILLING TO LEND A
HELPING HAND.
WE NEED PEOPLE TO KNOW HE
WAS NOT A BAD KID.
NEVER WAS A BAD KID.
HE WAS A VERY AMAZING PERSON.
BUT RYAN STRUGGLED WITH
ADDICTION.
HE WAS GETTING TREATMENT BUT
AFTER A RECENT BAD SESSION IN
WHICH HE ABRUPTLY LEFT AND
LATER RETURNED HE WAS TOLD TO
RETURN IN 30 DAYS.
HE WAS ACTUALLY IN TREATMENT
AT CHURCH.
HE WAS TRYING TO FIND GOD.
WE PRAYED FOR HIM ALL THE TIME.
HE MADE A BAD DECISION AND IT
COST HIM HIS LIFE.
ST. AND NAY POLICE CALLED ON
THE MINNESOTA STATE PATROL TO
COME OUT AND RECONSTRUCT THE
ACCIDENT SCENE AND THOSE
AGENCIES CONTINUE TO
INVESTIGATE WHAT HAPPENED OUT
HERE.
RYAN'S FAMILY TOLD ME THEY ARE
UPSET ABOUT HOW LONG IT TOOK
FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO
NOTIFY THEM OF HIS DEATH.
THEY WAITED AT REGENTS HOSPITAL
FOR SEVERAL HOURS TO LEARN
ABOUT HIS CONDITION.
WE KNOW THE PASSENGER IN THE
