On the night of November 13, 2019, a custody dispute in Pittsburgh’s Homewood neighborhood escalated into deadly gunfire. According to authorities, 26-year-old Kierra Eddisha Harris argued with the woman who had custody of one of her children; that woman called a friend who was dating Darryl Barnett, and the couple arrived at Kelly and Collier streets. The argument turned physical and involved Harris, the other woman, and a man with Harris, Lavon Sizemore.

At some point during the confrontation Barnett opened fire, striking Harris in the neck and chest and Sizemore in the neck. ShotSpotter detected gunfire around 10:40 p.m. Officers found Sizemore dead by a vehicle; Harris was found nearby in critical condition. While being transported to UPMC Presbyterian she went into cardiac arrest, and the ambulance she was in collided with another ambulance. A third ambulance completed her transport and she was pronounced dead at 11:37 p.m.

Barnett fled the scene and was later apprehended. Does anyone have reliable information about Harris’s life in Homewood or about witnesses to that night?
