Kiriyanah Harris, 19, was shot and killed inside a home on Sheri Drive in Huntsville on Tuesday, April 14, 2026. The Madison County Coroner identified her and said she died in a shooting; her autopsy was handled through the regional forensic laboratory in Huntsville.

Family described Kiriyanah as a nursing student and honors student, dedicated and compassionate, with a bright future. Relatives characterized the loss as domestic gun violence and said her life was cut short by someone who did not want to see her succeed.

Huntsville police identified a person of interest tied to the Sheri Drive scene. That evening officers located a vehicle linked to the investigation near Pulaski Pike and University Drive. Authorities say the suspect presented a firearm during an attempted traffic stop; officers fired and struck him. Alabama Law Enforcement Agency later named the suspect as Jon Savion Clemons, 20, of Huntsville, and its State Bureau of Investigation opened a review of the officer-involved shooting. Reports do not provide a full court timeline, charges, or trial outcome; the investigation remained active and officials released limited details about what led to the shooting and the exact relationship between Harris and Clemons.
