The Tragic Incident

According to law enforcement authorities, deputies from the Richland County Sheriff’s Department responded to reports of gunfire around 12:15 p.m. on March 5 in the 7300 block of Monticello Road in Columbia. Upon arrival, deputies found two individuals suffering from gunshot wounds. First responders provided aid until emergency medical services arrived. One victim — later identified as Jordan — was pronounced dead at the scene, while the other victim was transported to a nearby hospital with injuries.

Boyd has since been charged with murder, attempted murder, and possession of a weapon during a violent crime in connection with the incident.

In Loving Memory of Steven Michael Magee — A Life Taken Too Soon

On the early morning of March 5, 2026, a tragedy unfolded in Lakeland, Florida, that would reverberate through the community and leave loved ones grappling with heartbreak. What began as a routine night out quickly turned into a fatal confrontation outside Wally’s Poolhall, a local gathering spot on East Main Street, claiming the life of 48‑year‑old Steven Michael Magee.

Remembering Steven Michael Magee

Steven Michael Magee was known to friends and family as a devoted father, husband, and a quietly generous soul whose presence lifted those around him. Though his life was taken far too soon, the memories of his laugh, kindness, and commitment to those he loved continue to live on in the hearts of family and close friends. Supporters have described him as someone who had a calming presence — a man whose life was defined by his care for others, not by the violence that ended it.

Magee’s family, still reeling from the loss, has urged anyone with information to help law enforcement as they work to ensure justice. A close friend and advocate for the family called for anyone connected to the incident to come forward, pleading, “Be a man. Admit what you’ve done. Turn yourself in.”

The Incident: What Happened That Night

According to the Lakeland Police Department and witness accounts, the shooting occurred shortly after 12:30 a.m. when two patrons of Wally’s Poolhall became embroiled in a dispute in the establishment’s parking lot.

While both men had been inside the pool hall earlier in the night, police say they did not interact indoors. The tension escalated only after they stepped outside, beginning with a verbal disagreement that quickly turned confrontational.

Witnesses reported seeing one of the women with Kevin Lamont Reed Jr. attempt to restrain him as the argument intensified. As Magee reportedly backed away with his hands raised in what appeared to be an effort to de‑escalate the situation, Reed allegedly pursued him, pushed him, and then turned back to draw a gun, firing multiple rounds. Magee, according to investigators, managed to draw his own handgun and return fire as he was falling to the ground.

Responding officers found Magee unconscious on the sidewalk. He was rushed to Lakeland Regional Health but later died from his wounds, leaving behind grieving loved ones and a community shocked by the violence.

Arrest of Kevin Lamont Reed Jr.

Later that same evening, authorities located and arrested 23‑year‑old Kevin Lamont Reed Jr. at his home at around 10 p.m. on March 5.

Reed faces serious charges, including:

Second‑Degree Murder, for his alleged role in the fatal shooting.

Tampering with Physical Evidence, after returning to the scene and relocating what investigators believe was the weapon used in the shooting.

During the arrest, police recovered a firearm believed to be connected to the fatal incident, which has been sent for forensic testing.

While Reed is now in custody, the Lakeland Police Department emphasizes that the investigation remains active and ongoing. Detectives are continuing to review evidence, witness accounts, and surveillance footage to build a complete picture of the events leading up to this tragic confrontation.

Community Response and Ongoing Investigation

The fatal shooting has drawn significant attention throughout Lakeland, where residents have expressed both sorrow and concern over the loss of Magee’s life. Community members, family, and friends have urged cooperation with law enforcement and transparency as the case unfolds.

Police are encouraging anyone with additional information to contact Detective Jaime Smith at the Lakeland Police Department. As this remains an active and evolving investigation, authorities have reiterated the importance of public assistance in helping to ensure justice is served.

A Life Remembered

The senseless loss of Steven Michael Magee is a stark reminder of how quickly a moment of confrontation can turn tragic. As his family mourns, they also celebrate the impact he had on the lives of those around him — a legacy of love, strength, and unwavering support for his family and friends.
