Woman Arrested in Connection to Fatal Shooting in Memphis

A Tennessee woman, Kiauna Newsom, was recently arrested in connection to a tragic incident that occurred in Memphis. The incident took place on the 5400 block of Apple Blossom Drive, where authorities responded to a call just before 2 a.m. on March 2.

Discovery of the Victim

Upon arrival, Memphis police officers discovered an unresponsive victim, identified as George Harris, inside a parked vehicle described as a Chevy Malibu. Harris had been shot several times and was transported to a local hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.

Details of the Investigation

During the course of their investigation, officials learned that Newsom believed Harris to be her ex-boyfriend and that she had been involved in a verbal dispute with him at a local store. Newsom’s ex-boyfriend had lent his car to Harris, who was ultimately the victim of the fatal shooting.

Video footage from a store at Kirby and Shelby showed Newsom wearing a white V-neck shirt and driving a gray Nissan shortly before the murder took place. This information led to the discovery of the Nissan in the driveway of a residence, where Newsom was taken into custody the following day.

Confession and Arrest

During questioning by the police, Newsom confessed to being the driver of the Nissan and revealed that she was accompanied by an alleged male accomplice, Justin Howard. Howard reportedly opened fire on Harris, resulting in his tragic death.

After Howard was apprehended, Newsom positively identified him in a lineup. Both individuals were charged in connection to the incident, highlighting the escalating gun violence in the area.

Police Response

Chief CJ Davis expressed concern over the prevalence of arguments escalating into violent confrontations, emphasizing the need for peaceful conflict resolution in the community.

The arrest of Newsom and Howard sheds light on the importance of addressing underlying issues that lead to such tragic events, as authorities work to ensure the safety and well-being of all residents in Memphis.
