The 24-year-old daughter of longtime Hollywood armorer Thell Reed – who was working on just her second film production – has needed to lawyer up and her camp is even claiming potential "sabotage" as they’re steadfast that there is no question Gutierrez Reed loaded the antique pistol with rounds from the box labeled "dummies."

Gutierrez Reed’s father, Thell Reed, declined to speak to Fox News Digital but relayed in presence that he "wasn’t there" and didn’t have any more to add.
Additionally, the film’s costume designer, Terese Davis, has also spoken out regarding the on-set tragedy and told Fox News the late Hutchins was "the center of [the crew’s] family."
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Davis' name surfaced when Baldwin shared a lengthy social media post from the crew member slamming "bulls---" claims of poor working conditions on the set of "Rust" and suggesting tension between producers and crew members over several issues such as commute lengths and housing accommodations.
In her social media statement, Davis said she was "so sick of this narrative."
"The story being spun of us being overworked and surrounded by unsafe, chaotic conditions is bulls---," she said.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Davis offered specific details of hours spent on set and claimed that crew members did in fact have hotels, but didn't feel they "were fancy enough. NOT that they were unsafe."
Davis told Fox News in a statement: "Movie sets for me are like families, they are each beautiful experiences and Rust was a particularly tight set," adding that Hutchins was "the brightest light and to have 1 or 2 people destroy her beauty with ugly, false noise is compounding the hurt and making the grieving process that much harder."

As the sheriff forges on with its unprecedented investigation, New Mexico district attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies has maintained that "everything at this point, including criminal charges, is on the table."
