In the pre-dawn hours of June 19, 2021, gunfire at a party on Cedar Grove Road in Soperton, Georgia, left 31-year-old Harvey Glen Harris fatally wounded. Harris, from the neighboring community of Wrightsville, was found unresponsive at the scene and later died after being taken to a hospital in Laurens County. Another attendee, 24-year-old Cameron Harden of Soperton, was also shot but survived.

Deputies from the Treutlen County Sheriff’s Office initially responded to reports of shots fired around 2:00 a.m., and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation was asked to lead the homicide probe alongside the sheriff’s office. The investigation remains open and has not produced any arrests; no suspects have been publicly named. The shooting affected the surrounding communities and contributed to tensions that included the cancellation of a local high school football game in September 2021.

If anyone saw the party that night or has information about the shooting, please come forward to assist in resolving this case.
