A neighbor told Action News Jax that she had previously seen Reddock Jr. and his father arguing, as well as previously seen Reddock Jr. arrested.

“Didn’t really disturb me that much," said neighbor Martha Harden. "I mean he argued out front with the parents and his girlfriend occasionally, and I’ve seen him distraught. I’ve seen him arrested. But he didn’t live there all of the time, just occasionally, and I don’t know, it just didn’t bother me that much.”

Another neighbor said he would hear fighting once in a while, but for the most part Reddock Jr. was respectful toward him.

Authorities found him dead Thursday in a Daytona Beach hotel room along with an unidentified woman.
