On November 1, the Oxford Police Department arrested Timothy Hervey, (20, Oxford) in connection with a shooting incident that occurred on the 500 block of Hurricane Lane.

On October 31 at approximately 3:48 pm, officers responded to a report of shots fired at a residence on Hurricane Lane. Investigators at the scene found multiple bullet holes in a vehicle parked in the driveway and recovered shell casings and other evidence indicating gunfire. No one was injured during the shooting. Hervey was identified as a suspect shortly after.

During the investigation, detectives learned Hervey was also a suspect in a recent burglary in the county. The Oxford Police Department obtained a search warrant for Hervey’s residence and executed the warrant leading to Hervey’s arrest. During the searches, investigators found a gun matching the one that was reported stolen. The gun and ammunition recovered from the scene are consistent with the type used in the Hurricane Lane shootings.

Timothy Hervey is currently being held at the Lafayette County Detention Center on charges of driving by shooting and possession of a stolen firearm.
