On the night of November 5, 2019, 20-year-old Nicholas Sloan Harmon was found dead in his vehicle after it veered off Kelly Creek Road and struck a utility pole near a Valero gas station in Moody, Alabama. A responding Moody police officer discovered Harmon still buckled in the driver’s seat and suffering from a gunshot wound to the left side of his neck. Investigators treated the scene as more than a traffic crash, with multiple crime scenes and involvement from the Alabama Bureau of Investigation and Alabama State Troopers. Testimony presented in court said Harmon had left his girlfriend’s apartment around 10:50 p.m. that night and was shot while inside his vehicle.

Michael Dale Iervolino was arrested and later convicted of capital murder in connection with Harmon’s death; a jury recommended the death penalty. Nicholas Harmon, a recent Pell City High School graduate and Jefferson State Community College student, had completed Army basic training and been accepted into the U.S. Army flight school, with plans to pursue helicopter pilot training.

If anyone knew Nicholas or saw him the night of November 5, please share what you remember.
