Days Gone Bye[]
Reggie was an escaped convict from a prison in Grant County. Shane Walsh and Rick Grimes encountered him when they were called to action. Reggie stated that he would die before returning to Grant County's prison. After Rick explained to Shane that they were taking cover behind the police cruiser like, "sitting ducks", Rick ran off to attempt flanking and cornering the criminal. After he bolted from cover, Reggie shot Shane in the hand, preventing him from giving cover fire, before shooting Rick in the chest, effectively forcing him into a coma.

It's unknown what happened to Reggie after he shot Rick, though the fact he somehow made it to Atlanta suggests he was able to escape before Rick and Shane's backup arrived. During the early days of the outbreak, Reggie died due to unknown causes and subsequently reanimated as a zombie.
