Officer Reed was stabbed to death by an inmate at the Iowa State Penitentiary.
The inmate was sentenced to prison in 1960 for 25 years for a robbery conviction. In 1965 he received an additional 40 years for stabbing a fellow inmate to death. A life term was added April 24, 1970, when he was convicted of Officer Reed's murder.
