KINSTON TEEN ARRESTED IN SHOOTING THAT WOUNDED 12-YEAR-OLD
Kinston police wasted no time snatching up the suspect in a weekend shooting that left a 12-year-old boy with a bullet wound in his arm. Now, the suspect has been hit with additional charges, including attempted murder.
According to investigators, it happened Sunday afternoon, August 10, on the 1700 block of Dixon Street. Police say shots rang out, and that’s when the young boy was hit. He was rushed to the hospital and is expected to recover — but cops say he wasn’t even the intended target.
WHO POLICE SAY PULLED THE TRIGGER
Kinston detectives identified 18-year-old Shyawnah Harris as the suspect. Early Monday morning, August 11, officers pulled up to her crib and took her into custody without any drama.
Harris was originally hit with attempted murder and felony conspiracy charges. But that was just the beginning.
Kinston Police now say Harris is facing four counts of attempted murder, three counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, one count of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury, and seven counts of felony conspiracy.
She’s still being held in the Lenoir County Jail.
POLICE SAY IT’S STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION
Even though they’ve made an arrest, Kinston Police say this case is far from over. They’re still piecing together what led to the gunfire and who the real target was supposed to be.
