Edward James Harris IV, 14, known as EJ, was fatally shot in a drive-by on May 31, 2015, in Tampa, Florida. The shooting happened about 4:20 p.m. outside Woodland Terrace Park near North 32nd and East Diana Streets, a block from his home, as he walked home after playing basketball. EJ was taken to Tampa General Hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Police released surveillance showing a silver or grey four-door vehicle and an orange or red car believed to be involved; both vehicles were later located but no arrests have been announced. Investigators say several people were present and that witnesses have been reluctant to come forward. EJ had survived earlier violent incidents earlier that year and the previous fall, and his father, Edward Harris III, believes EJ was targeted for cooperating with police. Crime Stoppers of Tampa Bay is offering up to $3,000 for information leading to identification and arrest.

If anyone knew EJ, saw the vehicles near Woodland Terrace Park on May 31, 2015, or has information about the shooting, please contact Crime Stoppers or Tampa police.
