Shai’India Maikayla Harris was 18 when she was shot and killed on July 10, 2020, in the Lents neighborhood of Southeast Portland. A recent Parkrose High School graduate who had planned to move to Atlanta for cosmetology school, she was standing near a vehicle at Southeast 84th Avenue and Flavel Street when witnesses reported a heated argument with the vehicle’s occupants and a gunshot in broad daylight. First responders arrived about 12:45 p.m. and found Harris with a gunshot wound; medics were unable to save her and she died at the scene.

Harris’s family publicly identified the suspected killer as her boyfriend. On July 31 the Portland Police Bureau named 19-year-old Kceon Colbert as a suspect and asked for help locating him. A search continued until August 26, 2020, when the U.S. Marshals Service Fugitive Task Force arrested Colbert in Clark County, Washington. The Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office then charged him with second-degree murder with a firearm constituting domestic violence and unlawful use of a weapon with a firearm constituting domestic violence.
