Louisiana – On June 23, 2022, Louisiana State Police reported that Troopers began investigating a shooting incident that occurred in the parking lot of the Office of Motor Vehicle (OMV) building at 2150 Westbank Expressway in Harvey, Louisiana, shortly after 1:00 p.m. There were no reported injuries as a result of the shooting.

According to Louisiana State Police, the incident occurred when a male subject, later identified as 35-year-old Kevin Fair, was seen running after two people in the parking lot, according to the initial investigation. Fair discharged a firearm while pursuing the individuals.
