35-year-old Kristy Harrison killed in shooting that targeted home in Tarrant
TARRANT, Ala. — Authorities have identified the woman killed in a weekend shooting that targeted a home in Tarrant during the holiday weekend.
The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office confirmed the victim as 35-year-old Kristy Denise Harrison of Birmingham.
According to police, the incident occurred on Saturday, August 30, at approximately 10:40 p.m., when gunfire erupted outside a residence in the 1400 block of Ford Avenue.
Investigators say someone drove past the home and opened fire, striking Harrison multiple times. She was pronounced dead at the scene just minutes later, at 10:49 p.m.
Authorities have determined that Harrison, who had been attending a gathering at the residence, was not the intended target.
Police Chief Wendell Major stated that the violence stemmed from a dispute earlier in the day involving two women and a vehicle.
That initial altercation, which took place around 4 p.m., involved threats and gunfire directed at the home, but no one was injured.
Hours later, suspects returned and unleashed a hail of bullets into the residence before fleeing.
As of now, no arrests have been made, and investigators continue to search for those responsible.
This marks Tarrant’s second homicide of 2025.
Authorities are urging anyone with information to contact the Tarrant Police Department at 205-849-2811 or to provide tips anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 205-254-7777.
City of Hammond, Louisiana — At approximately 11:50 p.m. on February 24, 2026, officers with the Hammond Police Department responded to a report of shots fired involving one possible victim.
Upon arrival, officers located a 14-year-old juvenile female, identified as Tyronai Reed, suffering from an apparent gunshot wound.
Emergency medical assistance was rendered at the scene, and she was transported to North Oaks Health System for treatment.
Despite life-saving efforts, Reed later succumbed to her injuries.
Detectives assigned to the department’s Criminal Investigations Division launched an immediate homicide investigation.
During the course of their investigation, authorities identified 18-year-old Demontez Treyvon “Trey” Robinson of Hammond as a suspect in the shooting.
While actively working the case, officers observed a vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed and conducted a traffic stop.
Robinson was identified as the driver of the vehicle and was taken into custody without incident.
