The department said that after gathering additional evidence that linked Harris to the crime scene, officers took Harris into custody.

“Thanks to the remarkable dedication of our investigators, this suspect will face consequences for his actions,” stated Chief Lee Bercaw. “No disagreement, argument, or differing viewpoint justifies the taking of a life, and individuals who resort to using a firearm to settle conflicts will be brought to justice.”
