Detective Charles Edward Harris, 45, was shot and killed on April 4, 1991, at his home in Southern Pines, North Carolina. A 20-year law enforcement veteran who had served with the Hoke County Sheriff’s Office and later the Southern Pines Police Department, Harris was a U.S. Navy veteran and is survived by his wife and three children. His wife was wounded in the same attack.

Authorities say the killing was retaliation by drug dealers Harris had previously arrested. The suspects located his address, went to his home, and shot him as he answered the door. Eight people were arrested in connection with the murder; the man who fired the fatal shots was 22 at the time and was convicted of first-degree murder and given life plus 60 years.

Does anyone have memories of Detective Harris, details about the case, or information that could add to the record?
