On November 1, 2024, the Oxford Police Department arrested Timothy Hervey, (20 of Oxford, Mississippi), in connection with a drive by shooting incident that occurred on the 500 block of Hurricane Lane.
On October 31, 2024, at approximately 3:48 pm, officers responded to a report of gunfire at a residence on Hurricane Lane. Investigators on scene found multiple bullet holes in a vehicle parked in the driveway and recovered shell casings and other evidence indicative of gunfire. No one was injured in the shooting. Hervey was identified as the suspect shortly after.
During the investigation, detectives learned that Hervey was also a suspect in a recent burglary in the county.

The handgun and ammunition recovered from the scene are consistent with the type used in the shooting on Hurricane Lane.
