Emanuel Harmon Jr

Emanuel Harmon Jr., a 30-year-old Black man from Montgomery, Alabama, was one of two men who lost their lives after a shooting in the city in the summer of 2022. He and the other victim, William Lee, were both 30 years old and residents of Montgomery.

The violence unfolded on the evening of Friday, July 29, 2022. At approximately 7:25 p.m., a shooting was reported in the 400 block of South Jackson Street, near the intersection with Highland Avenue and High Street. When Montgomery police officers arrived at the scene, they found both Emanuel Harmon Jr. and William Lee suffering from gunshot wounds.

Both men were alive when first responders reached them and were rushed to a local hospital for emergency medical treatment. Lee was pronounced dead at the hospital later that night. Harmon fought for his life overnight but ultimately succumbed to his injuries the following day, on Saturday, July 30, 2022.

The Montgomery Police Department immediately launched a double homicide investigation into the deaths of the two men. In the days following the shooting, authorities had not made any arrests, nor had they publicly released any information regarding potential suspects or a motive for the attack. As of late July 2022, the case remains unsolved. Anyone with information related to the incident is asked to contact CrimeStoppers at 215-STOP or the Montgomery Police Department at 525-2831.
