A man has pleaded guilty after he shot and killed a woman in a tragic case of mistaken identity, according to court officials.
According to the Superior Court of Davie County, Harold Reid Jr. pleaded guilty on Monday to first-degree murder in the death of 26-year-old Quintia Miller at Rowan Pointe Apartments in Mocksville in October of 2022. He also pled no contest to four sex offenses he was facing: first-degree sex offense, statutory sex offense and two counts of indecent liberties with a child.
All of those charges were combined with the first-degree murder charge.
He was due in court that week for a sex crimes case and investigators say he went to the apartments looking for Shavonne Barnes in order to stop her from testifying against him. He then mistook Miller for Barnes and killed her.
“I saw Quintia lying face down, and…Reid Jr. laying on top of her,” Barnes said at the time. “The attack should have never been her. The bullet was meant for me.”
Barnes told FOX8 that Reid molested her as a child and she wanted to tell her story to help prevent him from doing it to anyone else.
Reid was sentenced to life in prison with no chance for parole.
