Lonnie Darnell Harvey Jr., 20, was shot multiple times and killed on the evening of June 15, 2023, at a family graduation party on Garfield Avenue in Virginia Beach. Reports say at least 15 shots were fired during the incident and Harvey sustained six gunshot wounds. A graduate of First Colonial High School, he worked two jobs, including as a maintenance technician for the city, and was remembered by family as funny, strong, and a loving family man.

Investigators quickly developed a person of interest and within a week a 24-year-old man was located and arrested; charges were filed in connection with Harvey’s death. The family expressed gratitude that an arrest had been made while still mourning their son known as LJ.

If anyone attended that gathering or has information about the shooting, please share what you know.
