Harrison Olvey was 25 and working as a valet in Buckhead, Atlanta, when he was killed in the early hours of Labor Day weekend 2023. A recent Kennesaw State University finance graduate about to begin a new career, Olvey confronted a man he saw breaking into a truck near the Tongue & Groove nightclub on Piedmont Road. During the confrontation the man shot Olvey in the chest at close range; Olvey was taken to Grady Hospital and died of his wound.

Atlanta police identified Randy King as the primary suspect and placed him on a most-wanted list; King was arrested in mid-October 2023 and later indicted in December 2023 on charges including malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Prosecutors say surveillance footage shows the confrontation and that King acted alone; the defense argued King did not fire the fatal shot, citing Olvey’s initial comment that he saw two men. The jury convicted King on all counts and imposed life without parole plus 20 years.

Did anyone who knew Harrison or who was in Buckhead that night see something that might clarify what happened?
