Karen McNair says she yearned for the arrest of the man who police say killed one of her daughters and seriously injured the other.

Chutney McNair, 19, the surviving victim of the Jan. 21 double shooting, was in an on-and-off relationship with the suspect, and was three months’ pregnant with his child, according to authorities.

Karen McNair’s other daughter, Bianca McNair, 21, was shot dead.

The days-long search for the suspect, Burnie Reed, 19, ended Wednesday night when a multi-agency task force converged on a Lauderhill home and arrested Reed after a brief struggle that left him with bruising around one eye, police said.

“I’ve been praying for this for over a week now,” said Karen McNair, 47. “I’m thankful.”

Chutney McNair, who suffered a gunshot wound to the head, was taken to Broward General Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale. As of Thursday, she was home.

“She’s good,” her mother said. Her unborn child was not harmed.

Chutney McNair, who worked at JC Penney, and Reed were in a relationship for about a year and a half, and Reed had “pulled a gun on her several times before,” Karen McNair said. The mother had urged her daughter to end the relationship, she said.

Karen McNair said she did not know the motive for the shootings.

During Reed’s first court appearance Thursday afternoon, Broward County Judge John “Jay” Hurley read Reed the allegations from an arrest report.

The night of the shooting, Chutney McNair telephoned her mother to help her avoid Reed and “avoid any problems” when she got home, Hurley said.

Reed lived across the street from the McNairs’ home in Lauderdale Manors, Hurley said.

When Chutney McNair met her mother outside their home, Reed appeared and the elder McNair urged him not to start any problems, Hurley said. Bianca McNair then ran out of the house to intervene, and Reed allegedly shot her in the face, Hurley said.

Reed then pointed the gun at Karen McNair and Chutney McNair, prompting them to run away, Hurley said. Reed chased Chutney McNair and shot her, police said. At one point, a neighbor allegedly saw Reed holding a gun, Hurley said.

In addition to Fort Lauderdale police, the FBI Violent Crime Fugitive Task Force, the U.S. Secret Service and Lauderhill police helped capture Reed.

Authorities obtained information from their investigation that led them to a home in the 3400 block of Northwest Fourth Court in Lauderhill.

Reed was hiding, “concealing himself under a massive pile of clothing and furniture,” said Fort Lauderdale police Detective Travis Mandell. “When officers attempted to make contact with him, he refused to comply with their commands and became combative.”

As a result, police used force to arrest him, Mandell said. Reed was additionally charged with resisting police with violence and resisting police without violence, Mandell said.

During his court appearance, Reed told the judge that a private attorney would represent him. The judge ordered him to remain jailed without bond.

Karen McNair said she plans to ask authorities to consider adding an attempted-murder charge against Reed. “He tried to kill me, too, so that’s three lives that Burnie wanted to take out,” she said.

Karen McNair has been mourning Bianca McNair, a student at Broward College.

“I will never be able to see Bianca again,” she said. “I lost my daughter, my child, you know? Burnie’s mother can still go visit her son in jail.”
