Cedar Rapids Waterloo Iowa City & Dubuque, IA, October 14, 2026 —
The girlfriend of Dipree Jones testified in the Waterloo murder trial of Martavious Reed, who is accused of first-degree murder. She told the trial that she witnessed Reed shoot Jones in a parking lot belonging to Ryder Logistics.
The testimony places the alleged shooting at the center of the case, but the information available does not provide further details about what the witness said, when the shooting occurred or what other evidence has been presented. Reed’s first-degree murder charge is an accusation; the summary does not report a verdict or other outcome in the trial.
The witness’s name was not provided. The summary also does not specify when she testified, the court where the trial is being heard, or whether she was questioned by attorneys after describing what she said she witnessed. No additional information was provided about Jones, Reed or the circumstances surrounding the alleged shooting.
The account identifies the location as a Ryder Logistics parking lot but does not give a street address or clarify which facility was involved. It also does not describe the prosecution’s broader case or any response from Reed’s defense. Those details are not available in the information provided.
As the proceedings continue, the testimony represents an account presented in court, while the charge against Reed remains an allegation unless and until the case is resolved. The available summary does not say what further testimony or evidence may be heard, or when the trial is expected to conclude.
