Tarrant’s Police Chief Wendell Major said investigators believe the shooting was the result of a dispute between two other women over a vehicle earlier that day. Major says police were called to the home around 4 p.m. Sunday on a report of shots being fired along with threats being made, but the suspect had already left the scene and no one was hurt, WVTM reported.
Matters escalated when an un-identified individual returned later Sunday night and fired a semi-automatic into the home. Harrison was struck multiple times and pronounced dead on the scene at 10:49 p.m, AL reported.
It remained unclear if the gunshots were meant for the female involved in the dispute earlier that day.
Police say Kristy Harrison had nothing to do with the fight earlier that day that led to the drive-by shooting. Police say Harrison was visiting for a Labor Day gathering when she was shot and killed.
According to the victim’s Facebook profile, Kristy ItsJuicy Harrison, the 35 year old worked as a shift manager at McDonald’s.
No arrests have been made. It remained unclear if police had identified any suspects.
