'Harris fatally shot Miller, who was holding the hand of his 5-year-old child and carrying his infant in a car seat in his other hand. The incident occurred about 8:30 a.m. on March 4, 2022, in the 2300 block of 18th Street NE.
Prosecutors said Harris fired 13 shots, striking Miller 11 times, all in his face and upper body. Neither child was physically injured, prosecutors said.
Harris, who was on probation at the time for three separate gun possession cases, was arrested two months later. He was charged with first-degree murder while armed.
As a part of the plea agreement, prosecutors and Harris’s attorneys agreed to a sentence of 10.5 to 13 years. At the hearing Wednesday in D.C. Superior Court, Assistant U.S. Attorney Prava Palacharla asked a judge to impose the full 13 years.
“This is an especially tragic crime. Surveillance video depicted the images of the defendant standing over the decedent and continuing to fire multiple times,” Palacharla said. “This is a particularly egregious crime on the morning of a school day. This should not have happened.”'
