       Witnesses said Reynolds fled that scene in a stolen car belonging to the city of Gulfport, police said.

       Police tracked down the car and said Reynolds fled on foot to a convenience store. Two employees escaped the store as Reynolds barricaded himself inside, police said.

       After multiple attempts to contact him, a SWAT team entered the store where they found Reynolds dead inside "from unknown circumstances," police said. His autopsy has not been conducted yet, according to the coroner's office.

       A motive was not immediately clear, police said.
