After reviewing evidence in the case and speaking with witnesses, APD homicide detectives obtained two warrants for the arrest of 22-year-old Uthian Kimble, charging him with one count of Murder and one count of Injury to a Child.

Earlier this month, authorities located Mr. Kimble in Florence, Alabama and took him into custody without incident. He is currently being held at the Lauderdale County Jail, awaiting extradition back to Tarrant County.

Investigators believe on the night of the shooting, Mr. Kimble physically assaulted Mr. Harris’ son, which prompted Mr. Harris to seek out Mr. Kimble. A short time later, shots were fired and Mr. Harris was found lying on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds. He was later pronounced deceased at the hospital.

“I’d like to thank our homicide detectives and all of the APD employees who had a hand in this investigation,” said Chief of Police Al Jones. “This arrest is the culmination of weeks of outstanding police work. Now that we have a suspect in custody, we can finally provide Mr. Harris’ family and the community with some sense of relief.”

ORIGINAL RELEASE (March 18, 2022):

On Friday, March 18, 2022, at approximately 6:27 p.m., the Arlington Police Department responded to a reported shooting at an apartment complex in the 800 block of Timberlake Circle. When they arrived on scene, they found a man in his 30’s lying in a courtyard with multiple apparent gunshot wounds.

He was transported to an area hospital where he was later pronounced deceased.

Investigators believe just prior to the shooting, the victim went to speak with another individual in the complex about an altercation that occurred between their children.

At this time, no arrests have been made. The investigation is ongoing.

The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office will identify the deceased once the next of kin have been notified.
