In the summer of 2019, the life of 22-year-old Thariyon Bryant, a female resident of Harvey, Louisiana, was tragically cut short by an act of gun violence. On Friday, July 26, 2019, a shooting incident occurred in the 1200 block of Maplewood Drive in Harvey. In the aftermath, individuals attempted to rush Bryant to a hospital for medical attention.
