OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On August 30, 2025, at approximately 6:45 p.m., Christopher Reed along with a passenger later identified as Kelly Wise (both age 47) were chased for possible retail theft at Dick’s Sporting Goods in the Parkway Center area. Police located their car parked in a fire lane near the exit of a nearby Walmart. A K9 unit was deployed to block the vehicle. Reed caused minor damage to a K9 cruiser while driving away. An off‑duty officer allegedly saw Reed’s vehicle traveling westbound on the wrong side of White Road at dangerous speeds. Due to the continuation of reportedly dangerous driving, a sergeant authorized a pursuit over the radio. Subsequently, another officer intercepted northbound near I-71 and began a pursuit. Reed exited onto Greenlawn Avenue near Greenlawn Cemetery where the aggressive high-speed pursuit resulted in a catastrophic collision, killing both the driver and passenger.
