Shikino Quantavius Reid, a 31-year-old convicted felon from Decatur, Georgia, has been indicted for possessing a firearm in connection with a shooting that erupted in a Decatur neighborhood last summer. On July 23, 2025, Reid allegedly attempted to start an altercation at his neighbor’s residence by discharging two firearms into the air. The situation quickly escalated, with the neighbor’s associates drawing their own guns and firing at Reid, striking him in the arm and a house across the street.
Reid, a multi-convicted violent repeat offender, has a history of crimes including Attempted Burglary, Aggravated Assault, and Aggravated Battery. His latest charges stem from the July 2025 incident, where his alleged actions put himself and others at risk of serious injury or death.
The case is being investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods. Reid was arraigned before U.S. Magistrate Judge John K. Larkins III and will remain in federal custody until the conclusion of his case.
The indictment of Shikino Quantavius Reid is a testament to the ongoing efforts of law enforcement to prevent and punish gun crime in the community. As U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg stated, ‘We will continue our efforts to prevent and punish gun crime in our community by prosecuting unlawfully armed felons.’
