In the summer of 2017, the community of Mullins, South Carolina, was unsettled by the violent death of one of its residents. Harvey Grant Jr., a 61-year-old male, was fatally shot on Thursday, July 27, 2017. The incident that cut his life short unfolded in the Marion County town he called home.
Details surrounding the circumstances of the shooting point to a dispute with a neighbor. According to reports, Grant was allegedly shot and killed by his neighbor.
This proximity of the alleged assailant to the victim added a layer of shock and dismay for those who knew Grant.
Born on January 12, 1956, Harvey Grant Jr. was a graduate of Mullins High School. Shortly after his high school years, he served his country by joining the United States Army, from which he was honorably discharged in 1980. Following his military service, he relocated to Boston, Massachusetts. It was there that he met his wife, Rhonda Grant.
Despite the initial reports of the alleged shooter being Grant's neighbor, publicly available online sources do not contain information regarding an arrest, the suspect's name, or any subsequent legal proceedings such as charges, trials, or a conviction in the death of Harvey Grant Jr. The narrative of his untimely death remains, in the public record, focused on the tragic event itself and the loss felt by his family and community.
