Michael Harris, 56, was shot and mortally wounded at a residence on North Dillard Road in Birdseye, Indiana, on the night of August 28, 2020. Emergency personnel treated him at the scene; he was later pronounced dead at Jasper Memorial Hospital. The shooting shattered the small community and prompted an immediate Indiana State Police investigation.

Investigators identified a suspect close to the victim: 57-year-old Lisa Harris. She was arrested at the Crawford County Jail and initially charged with murder. A trial date was set for November 2020, but the case resolved before that trial. Lisa Harris pleaded guilty to aggravated battery, a Level 3 felony, in a plea agreement that dismissed the murder charge. The court accepted the plea and sentenced her to 3,240 days in prison; she waived her right to appeal.

If anyone knew Michael Harris or has information about the events leading up to that night, please come forward.
