Local Man Sentenced For 2012 Murder

A Columbus man has been sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty in a 2012 shooting death. 24-year-old Robert Harris II reached a plea deal with prosecutors this week. Harris has admitted killing 30-year-old Kahlee Beard in front of a Maynard Avenue home in early 2012 following a neighborhood dispute. A second suspect was arrested but has not been indicted in the case.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
