James Michael Harris Sr., 31, was fatally shot in his Louisville, Kentucky, apartment on Terril Lane in 2017 after allowing a man he had known for years to move in. The visitor, Justin Curry, was on home incarceration for a drug charge at the time; only days after moving in, Curry shot Harris. The precise motive remains unclear.

Police arrested and charged Curry with murder and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon. In 2019 a jury found Curry guilty on both counts and recommended a life sentence, which the judge imposed. Harris was survived by three children; his mother later said she took some comfort from their last phone conversation, when she told him she loved him. Harris was buried at Pee Wee Valley Cemetery after a funeral at First Baptist Church Pee Wee Valley.

If anyone knew Harris or has information about his final days or the circumstances that led to him offering shelter, please share what you know.
