Willie Harvey, 39, was shot and killed during an altercation at a west Phoenix apartment complex near 27th Avenue and Indian School Road on January 5, 2025. A father of four who worked as a security guard at that complex, Harvey was described by his community as a gentle giant dedicated to keeping others safe. Gunfire began about 10:30 p.m.; first responders found Harvey dead at the scene and two other men were taken to hospital with critical, life-threatening injuries.

Phoenix police say the suspect fled before officers arrived. Investigators later identified and arrested 39-year-old Jovante Harvey, who authorities say is not related to the victim. He was charged with second-degree murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and held on a $1.5 million cash-only bond.

If anyone witnessed the shooting that night or knew Willie Harvey at the complex, can you share what you saw or remember?
