An infant girl was shot in the head, and the desperate moments as first responders attempted to save her are shown on body camera footage taken from the Liberty Township suburb of Cincinnati. Mia Desiree Harris, her own grandmother, was the shooter who was quickly taken into custody.
The girl miraculously lived, but the injuries had long-term effects on her health. Harris, the defendant, recently entered a guilty plea to a felony assault charge.
Her parole eligibility is set for December 2032, and she is now serving a term of nine to twelve years in jail.
“During the incident Harris shot at several family members before intentionally shooting the child,” the Butler County Sheriff’s Office stated in the press statement.
Witnesses reported Harris as the gunman and the seriously injured infant to authorities immediately.
“Mia Harris.” “Mia Harris,” a woman said to police in video taken on December 9, 2023. “Get her right now.”

Harris also “knowingly” caused “serious physical harm” to another victim, whose identity has been redacted, by “striking [that person] in the face with a fist,” according to a copy of the criminal complaint submitted to Butler County Area 2 Court.
“Harris then broke down a locked bedroom door, after firing a handgun through the bedroom door multiple times,” according to the document.
