On Sept. 23, shots rang out at the Budgetel Inn off Circle 75 Parkway near the Battery in Cobb County. One of those shots hit and killed a 9-month-old girl, later identified as Aziah Millieon McDougal. A GoFundMe has been set up to help her family.
Six people, including Harris, were indicted in the shooting earlier this week.
“He effectively watched a 9-month-old baby get executed, and yet he still chose to involve himself and try to cover up for Mr. [Ladarrius] Brown,” prosecutor Stephanie Green said.
His defense attorney argued that Harris did not know a baby had been shot.
“The only people who didn’t have a gun was the victim and Mr. Harris,” defense attorney Gilbert Sperling said. “He had absolutely nothing to do with that, no history of violence.”
Channel 2 Action News obtained a copy of the indictment against Brown, Noah Martin, Jayvian Young, Camron Harris and Anthony Smith. Court records also show Nateemah Ware is charged.

The only charge list on the indictment for Ware is hindering apprehension or punishment of a criminal.
