20-Year-Old Suspect Arrested in Kentucky in Shooting of Missouri RB Ahmad Hardy

Investigators say extradition to Mississippi is next in a still-active case.

Overview

  • Rashodrick Harris, 20, was taken into custody in Paducah, Kentucky, on Thursday night and is being held on a fugitive-from-out-of-state warrant while Mississippi files extradition papers.
  • Laurel police say Harris will face two counts of aggravated assault tied to the concert shooting in Laurel, Mississippi.
  • Detectives cited security video, a captured license plate number, and a victim’s identification from a still image as the evidence that led them to Harris.
  • Hardy remains hospitalized in Columbia and, according to coach Eli Drinkwitz on Saturday, is walking, doing physical therapy, and is expected to be discharged Monday.
  • Three people detained earlier were released without charges, and police say the investigation is ongoing with more arrests possible.
