On September 16, 2022, Reynoso was charged with aggravated battery with a weapon, aggravated discharge of a firearm, and official misconduct. Reynoso could face 30 years in prison if convicted.[3]

On September 28, 2023, a judge ruled that Reynoso was not guilty on all charges as they "were not the aggressors" and "acted within reason".[4]

The Civilian Office of Police Accountability (COPA) recommended that Reynoso be terminated for violating use of force guidelines, failing to render aid, and failing to secure the scene.[5]
