Harris was indicted last year on murder and felonious assault charges in the shooting death of 60-year-old Lynn Shackelford.
However, prosecutors filed involuntary manslaughter and aggravated robbery charges today that replaced the initial charges.
Harris was sentenced to 20 years in prison after waiving a pre-sentencing investigation.
The manslaughter charge has a three-year firearm specification.
The charges stemmed from the Oct. 28, 2016, deadly shooting at Summit Square Apartments.
