A Spokane jury found Daniel R. Quinn guilty of second-degree murder in the shooting of Thomas Reynolds.

Tuesday's verdict is a finding of guilt on second-degree murder. It is not the sentence. Nov. 20 is the date the Spokesman-Review printed. The same paper's March 2024 stories, and the police release, described the booking charges before Reynolds had been publicly named.

The Spokesman-Review reported Tuesday, Oct. 27, 2026, that a Spokane jury found Daniel R. Quinn guilty of second-degree murder. The paper reported the jury determined Quinn, 40, shot and killed Thomas Reynolds, 36, on March 22. It reported sentencing is set for Nov. 20. The story was updated at 7:23 p.m. A guilty verdict on that count is the jury's finding. The November date is when a judge is set to impose a term.

The paper, citing court records, reported police tracked a Chevrolet Tahoe turning on East Cleveland Avenue through security cameras, heard multiple loud bangs, and saw Reynolds running down East Cleveland Avenue, drop to the ground, and scream for help. It reported Reynolds's mother has said the two men did not know each other and that they exchanged words before the attack. It reported police traced the Tahoe through Flock cameras operated by Spokane County outside the city, followed the plate to a residence on North Thor Street, and in a search of the vehicle found documentation of a protection order given to Quinn, body armor, and ammunition. It reported Quinn had already been arrested for felony stalking, that he had a gun on him at the time, and that police matched that gun to shell casings at the scene. Those are the paper's account of the records. They are what the jury had in front of it. The verdict is the finding on second-degree murder.

The Spokesman-Review's March 27, 2024 story, and a Spokane Police Department release updated March 25, 2024, describe the booking with a different age and a list of charges that came in pieces. The paper reported the Spokane County Medical Examiner's Office identified the man who was killed as Thomas Reynolds, 36, and said he died by homicide from a gunshot wound to the chest. It reported Daniel R. Quinn, 37, was booked Saturday on charges including felony stalking and first-degree unlawful possession of a firearm, and that detectives then added a second-degree murder charge. The police release says detectives booked Quinn, 37, on March 23, 2024, on charges including felony stalking and first-degree unlawful possession of a firearm, and added second-degree murder on March 25. Both put the bond at $1 million. KXLY reported the same March 23 booking, the same age, the same two original charges, and the murder count added March 25 while he was in custody. The 2026 story's age of 40 and the 2024 age of 37 are the ages those accounts printed at those times. Thirty-seven in March 2024 and 40 in October 2026 can both be true if a birthday fell in between. The paper does not print a birth date.

Where the vehicle search is described, the lists are not the same length. The 2026 story says the search found protection-order paperwork, body armor, and ammunition, and that he had a gun on him when he was arrested for stalking. The March 27, 2024 story says detectives searched the Chevrolet Tahoe and found guns, ammunition, and body armor. Guns, plural, in the Tahoe, and a gun on him at the arrest, are two descriptions. The protection order is in the 2026 story. It is not in the March 2024 story or in the police release. The place names also sit next to each other rather than on one line. The 2026 story puts the Tahoe on East Cleveland Avenue and the plate at a North Thor Street residence. The 2024 story and the police release put the call at Thor Street and Cleveland Avenue, shortly after midnight on March 22. KXLY used the same intersection and the same time, and it did not name the man who died. The police release from the night of the shooting said there was no suspect information yet and that the medical examiner would release the name later. The murder charge came three days after the booking on the gun and stalking counts. Tuesday's verdict is on the murder count. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
