After further investigation, warrants for first-degree murder and shooting into a dwelling were issued out of the Lee County Circuit Court. The U.S. Marshals Two Rivers Violent Fugitive Task Force was asked to assist in the investigation, which led them to an address in Memphis.
The task force approached and surrounded the house on the 1400 block of Oberle Avenue. Officers say Harris was arrested without incident and is awaiting extradition to Mississippi.
