As News Center 7 previously reported, Harris shot into a group of teen boys in front of the Euclid Fire Station in August 2024. The fire station is a block away from Euclid Middle School and Euclid High School.
Five teens were shot and transported to area hospitals. One of them, 17-year-old Sincere Rowdy, died of his injuries.
Harris, who was 15 at the time of the shooting, was arrested the day after the shooting.
WOIO reported that Harris’ case was bound over from Cuyahoga County Juvenile Court to adult court in March.
