Billy Reid was a member of the Belfast Brigade of the Provisional Irish Republican Army. Reid shot the first British Army soldier on duty killed in the Troubles and was later himself killed as he attempted another ambush of British Army personnel.

On 15 May 1971, a foot patrol of the British Army was ambushed in Academy Street in the centre of Belfast by the Third Battalion Belfast Brigade. Billy Reid, aged 32, was killed by British soldiers when returning a gun.
