Anthony Lewis Harvey, 33, died after a firearm discharged inside a moving vehicle in Jackson, Mississippi, on July 6, 2020. Harvey was a passenger riding with a female driver when, according to the police account, he produced a handgun and pointed it at the driver. A struggle for the weapon reportedly took place inside the car and the gun discharged, striking Harvey in the side.

Emergency responders reached the scene but Harvey died of his wounds. The driver was taken to police headquarters for questioning and cooperated with investigators. After reviewing the evidence and the driver’s statement, the Jackson Police Department ruled the shooting accidental and released her without charges; no arrests or additional suspects were announced and the investigation was closed.

Harvey was the youngest child of his late mother and is survived by his grandmother, two children, and siblings; he had attended local schools including Lanier High School. Did anyone who knew Anthony or who was in that neighborhood on July 6 have information about what happened in the vehicle?
