Harvey Space, 35, was fatally shot on July 18, 2010, on the West Side of Chicago. He was sitting in his car in front of his residence on West Van Buren Street when a four-door brown vehicle pulled up. A person got out of that vehicle and opened fire, striking Harvey multiple times; he was pronounced dead shortly after the shooting.

The killing took place in a neighborhood described as having persistent problems with crime and violence, where drive-by shootings and gang-related activity were noted concerns. The case is presented as one of many homicides that contributed to a larger wave of gun violence in parts of Chicago during that period; investigators reportedly faced challenges such as unreliable witness testimony and limited community cooperation.

Anyone who knew Harvey, witnessed the shooting, or has information about the brown vehicle or the person who exited it is asked to come forward.
