The affidavit of complaint against Bryant Ward, charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of Bryan Hervey indicates that the two lived near each other on the same Cordova street.
And it says, Hervey, 61, may have been shot because Ward, 24, didn’t like the way Hervey looked at him.
According to the report, on May 15 sheriff’s deputies responded to a shooting call at about 2:30 a.m. on the 1200 block of Linnean Cove. Hervey was lying in the front yard with multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead.
Both Ward and Hervey live on River Hollow Drive in Cordova. Hervey, the affidavit said. often monitored activity in his neighborhood in a “neighborhood watch capacity.”
The report said his silver 2003 Mazda SUV was at the scene with several bullet holes, shattered glass and blood stains.
