Montreal Harris, a 33-year-old African American man, was found shot to death on South Madison Street in Bolivar, Tennessee, on September 19, 2021. The Bolivar Police Department led the investigation with assistance from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the case remained an active focus for local investigators over the following years.

In January 2024 a Hardeman County Grand Jury returned an indictment charging 35-year-old Rodriquez McNeal of Bolivar with first-degree murder in connection with Harris’s death. McNeal reportedly left the Bolivar area, prompting involvement by the U.S. Marshals Two Rivers Violent Fugitive Task Force. On January 24, 2024 the U.S. Marshals Middle Tennessee Joint Fugitive Task Force located and arrested McNeal at an apartment in Murfreesboro; he was booked into the Hardeman County Jail.

What details about Harris’s final hours or about motives in the case might help explain why this killing happened?
