Silver Spring man out for family dinner becomes homicide victim in Wayne Avenue garage


A Silver Spring man was found suffering from a gunshot wound in the stairwell of the Wayne Avenue public parking garage Wednesday night, December 21, 2022, at 8:59 PM. Despite efforts to save him by first responders, Charles Joseph Reynolds, 62, was pronounced dead at the scene. Police said he was taking leftovers from a family dinner at a restaurant back to his car, and had been expected to meet up again with the family at Ben & Jerry's for dessert. He never made it.

No suspect or motive has been identified in the incident so far. The nature of the case - a man killed while simply trying to dine out with family in the early evening - has horrified Montgomery County residents at a time when violent crime has been surging in the jurisdiction.
