Atlanta police have issued arrest warrants in connection with the weekend shooting death of a 25-year-old valet attendant in the city’s Buckhead area.
Harrison Olvey was identified as the valet attendant shot to death at around 1:40 a.m. Sunday while working at a nightclub on Piedmont Road Northeast. He was attempting to stop a car break-in when he was shot, Atlanta police said, and he died from his injuries shortly after at Grady Memorial Hospital.
Olvey’s LinkedIn account showed he was a recent graduate of Kennesaw State University and had been working as a valet in the area for more than four years. A GoFundMe created to assist Olvey’s family with end-of-life expenses said he was working as a valet to “make ends meet as he interviewed for full-time positions.”
“Harrison always did the right thing and would step in whenever needed. Unfortunately, this act of bravery caused the end of his life,” the GoFundMe account read.
