The argument was over Chad texting his daughter, deputies said.
Reeves, 71, a retired Tampa Police officer, was also accompanied by his wife.
Sheriff Chris Nocco told ABC Action News that Reeves left the theater in an effort to find an usher that could tell Chad to turn off his phone. Nocco added that when Reeves returned, the men exchanged words, popcorn went flying, and that is when Reeves pulled out a .380 pistol and opened fire.
"For a retired or off duty officer, who has that training and all that, it should have never escalated to that point," said Chad's friend Joseph Trapani.
"Chad doesn't carry weapons, doesn't hold weapons," he said.
According to witnesses, when Reeves pulled out the gun, Chad's wife lunged to protect him. She reportedly put her hand over his chest but the bullet ended up going through her hand.
Chad, according to witness Alex Cummings, took a few steps and blurted out, "I can't believe I've been shot."
Chad fell down and died seconds later.
"She's a wreck. I mean she just lost her husband, the father of her little girl over something that should have never happened," Trapani added.
