A manhunt is being conducted for a man wanted in connection with the Monday shooting death of a woman in Waverly Hall which followed a reported domestic dispute.
Harris County Sheriff’s Deputies reported they received a 911 call at 12:37 p.m. Monday about a woman who was found unresponsive in the front yard of a residence in the 9300 block of Georgia Highway 208 just outside the Waverly Hall city limits. Deputies responded to the scene and discovered Nicole Karastury Elliott, 35, dead in the yard from a single gunshot wound.
Investigation by Deputies determined that Elliott had been involved in an alleged domestic dispute with a man identified as Andrew Roy Harris, 36, of Phenix City, Alabama. The dispute had taken place just after 10:00 Monday morning, and it was during the dispute that Deputies said Elliott had been shot.
Harris reportedly fled the scene following the shooting and now has warrants charging him with felony murder and aggravated assault. At press deadline, Harris had not been captured and was last reported seen in the Phenix City area. Authorities said Harris is considered armed and dangerous and should not be approached.
The investigation into Elliott’s death is ongoing.
Anyone with information on Harris’ whereabouts or any other information on the shooting is asked to contact the Harris County Sheriff’s Office at (706) 628-4211.
