Arthur Harris, 41, known to family as AJ, was shot in the early morning hours of February 14, 2021. Montgomery police were called to the 1100 block of Karen Road at about 2:45 a.m. and found Harris with a life-threatening gunshot wound. He was transported to a local hospital and later died, the city’s tenth homicide of 2021.

Two days later, on February 16, 2021, 31-year-old Jamahl Jackson was arrested by the Montgomery Police Department and charged with murder. Motive and the exact circumstances that led to the shooting have not been publicly released, and Jackson was booked into the Montgomery County Detention Facility pending further legal proceedings. Harris’ funeral service was held February 20, 2021, at New Bethel Baptist Church in Lowndes County.
