Kiriyanah Harris, 19, was found shot and killed inside her Sheri Drive residence in Huntsville, Alabama on the evening of Tuesday, April 14, 2026. A nursing student at Drake State Community and Technical College, she was remembered by family as kind and loving with a bright future; her death has left her family grieving.

Investigators identified a person of interest the same evening. Officers located 20-year-old Jon Savion Clemons of Huntsville at the intersection of Pulaski Pike and University Drive and attempted a traffic stop. Authorities say Clemons allegedly produced a firearm, and officers fired, striking him. No officers were injured; Clemons was taken to a hospital. The State Bureau of Investigation has assumed control of the officer-involved shooting and will forward its findings to the Madison County District Attorney’s Office.

Detectives continue to investigate Harris’s homicide and the events leading up to her death. If anyone has information about Kiriyanah Harris, her movements that evening, or the traffic stop, please come forward.
