When police arrived, they found a man with obvious wounds, according to EPD Lt. Kevin Toth. The man was unresponsive and pronounced dead at the scene.

Through their investigation, police identified Reaves as the suspect. Reaves was arrested on a murder charge and booked into the Vista Detention Facility. Police were still investigating a motive.
