Mashenka Reid mulled stabbing tot sister when she allegedly killed dad, brother

A 17-year-old Nevada girl charged with killing her father and younger brother also allegedly considered stabbing or shooting her 2-year-old sister — as it emerged the teen was upset about her mom walking out on the family.

Mashenka Reid, from Reno, told a detective during a police interview that she had locked her toddler sister in a bedroom before grabbing her father’s gun and shooting him and her brother, whom she described as a 4- or 5-year-old boy with autism, according to new court records obtained by the Reno Gazette Journal.

But later Reid said she tried — and failed — to force open the door shielding her surviving sibling.

“I asked Mashenka what she was going to do had she gotten into the room with [her sister],” a police report stated. “Mashenka had described to me she was either going to shoot [her sister] or stab her.”

The teen said she had a knife on the washer and dryer, which she was going to “utilize to kill.”

“I just couldn’t resist the urge to kill somebody,” Reid told a 911 dispatcher.

The 17-year-old reportedly considered stabbing herself before police arrived — but ultimately decided that she deserved much worse, according to the report.

The court filing also offered chilling new details about the circumstances of the killings that occurred Friday.

Reid asked her father to go to the store to buy ingredients to make pizza “to stall for time” so she could figure out how to use his handgun, a Walther PPS, according to the report.

The teen said her dad, identified by the medical examiner’s office as 39-year-old Justin Reid, had shown her how to handle the firearm a year or two ago.

Reid allegedly went online to look up how to switch off the safety on the gun and load it.

When her father returned home, Reid met him by the garage door, standing “two arms lengths” away from the entrance, and shot him two or three times, according to the document.

The dad of three suffered gunshot wounds to the chest and back, and died on the spot.

Reid then went to where her younger brother was playing with a tablet on the couch and executed him with two shots to the head, the report said.

She made her way to the back bedroom where her sister was but could not open the locked door, which likely saved the tot’s life.

Reid then called 911 on herself, telling the emergency operator: “I shot my dad. I shot my brother. My brother is dead.”

Asked during the police interview what triggered this outburst of homicidal violence against her family, Reid was quoted as saying: “I guess about my mom running away from us.”

Reid said her mom took off on Dec. 15 and she has not heard from her since, leaving her depressed — even though the two were not close.

The teen was responsible for caring for her two siblings, including her special-needs brother, during the week while her father attended school.

Asked how she felt about her baby-sitting duties, the teenager allegedly said she got more and more angry from listening to her brother screaming.

Reid also allegedly admitted to watching YouTube videos that she said made her want to torture people.

The teen has been charged as an adult with two counts of open murder and an additional count of attempted murder with a deadly weapon. She is due in court for a bail hearing on Thursday.
