According to Fox News' latest report, the incident happened on Sunday, Sept. 3, at a nightclub on Piedmont Road Northeast.

Authorities said that Harrison was trying to stop a car break-in. Sadly, he was shot at around 1:40 a.m. that day.

The 25-year-old valet attendant was quickly taken to the Grady Memorial Hospital. However, his injuries were fatal, leading to his death shortly.

The Atlanta police said that they had a lead to the suspect who shot Harrison. On Sunday, officers shared photos of an armed and dangerous man on social media.

In the images, the guy can be seen driving what could be a newer Kia K5 with dark-tinted windows.

As of writing, police authorities are still investigating if the man they have arrest warrants for and the guy in the photos are the same individual.

Since they are not sure if the man in the photos is the one who killed Olvey, officers decided to keep his identity anonymous, for now.

The valet attendant's mother shared strong words for the man who killed his son. "He's a poor excuse for a human being," said Autumn Ernst via Fox5 Atlanta.

She said that the killer should be sentenced to prison for the rest of his life and never be allowed to step outside ever again.

Harrison's mother, who is deeply devastated by her son's passing, also shared stronger statements about the man and his mother.

"I want his mom to suffer, I want her to lose her son. I want her to have his life taken, so she knows what it feels like. I want her to hurt," said Autumn.

Meanwhile, Harrison's brother, Addison Olvey, said that his sibling's death has been very hard for them. He added that Harrison was his best friend, best sibling, and the older brother that anyone can ask for.

Harrison's family and friends organized a fundraiser for the valet attendant's funeral. Their goal is to acquire $50,000 in donations. As of press time, they already achieved over $49,000.
