Kevin Harvey, a 27-year-old Black man from Moss Point, Mississippi, was killed late on the night of August 10, 2023, in what police describe as an attempted home invasion at his Ruby Street residence. Officers say two to three unknown suspects tried to get inside, then fired an unidentified type of rifle through the door when they could not enter. Harvey was struck several times and died at the scene.

Neighbors reported a terrifying volley of gunfire. A couple hiding on their floor later found a bullet lodged in their bedroom wall, and another neighbor’s car was hit through both windows. Investigators recovered about 100 shell casings on the neighbors’ property and counted at least 10 bullet holes in Harvey’s door and windows. Police believe the attack was targeted but have not identified a motive; witnesses described two to three individuals who may have worn face coverings and say they heard no vehicle, suggesting the suspects fled on foot.

No arrests had been announced as of August 2023 and the case remains unsolved. If anyone has information, contact the Moss Point Police Department at 228-475-1711 or Mississippi Coast Crime Stoppers at 1-877-787-5898.
