In the early hours of May 4, 2024, a single-vehicle crash on West Wolfe Road in Parrish, Alabama, led deputies to a different crime scene. Inside the vehicle was 40-year-old Paula Michelle Bailey, a White female, who had not died from the crash but from gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators say the shooting was not random. The probe led to the arrest of 38-year-old Carlos Duran Harris, who is charged with Bailey’s murder; authorities have described Harris and Bailey as acquainted but have not detailed the nature of their relationship. No motive has been released and the case is proceeding through the courts.

Paula Bailey is remembered for her love of her nieces and nephews and her loyalty to friends. Does anyone in the Parrish area have information about Bailey, Harris, or the events that night?
