Jeromey Jervon Harvey, 32, was found unresponsive and pronounced dead on the afternoon of January 23, 2025, in the 1200 block of East Main Street in Kalamazoo. Officers from the Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety responded around 1:32 p.m.; investigators later determined his death was a homicide rather than from natural causes. Authorities said the incident was unrelated to an earlier violent event at the Kalamazoo Transportation Center the same day.

Detectives identified a suspect, 42-year-old Jerry Lee Harvey, a relative of the victim, and arrested him on charges that included open murder, felony firearm, and illegal entry. He was arraigned on January 27, 2025, and the court denied bond. The Criminal Investigations Division credited coordinated investigative work for the arrest and asked anyone with information to come forward.

If anyone knew Jeromey, his movements that day, or has information relevant to the case, please share what is known with investigators.
