Nakia Darlene Harris was 18 and seven months pregnant when she was found fatally shot in the bedroom of her Birmingham home on the evening of March 21, 2016. She was also the mother of a one-year-old son who was in the house and unharmed.

Investigators quickly focused on her 25-year-old boyfriend, Joshua Watson. Watson called police and said he’d been outside in his vehicle when he heard a gunshot, then went inside and found Nakia in the bathroom; Nakia’s mother reported inconsistencies in his account. Watson was arrested and charged with capital murder for the deaths of Nakia and her unborn son.

Nakia worked at a local restaurant alongside her mother and was remembered by coworkers as hardworking and cheerful. Her family and community mourned the loss and pointed to the case as an example of the devastating impact of domestic violence. If anyone knew Nakia, her movements on March 21, 2016, or has information about what happened that evening, please share what is known.
