Couple arrested in shooting of Gadsden man


Alejandro Luna Harris              Christine Renee Jones

A man and woman have been
arrested by Gadsden police in connection with the Aug. 20 shooting of a 20-year-old Gadsden man.
24 year old Alejandro Luna Harris,  and 24 year old Christine Renee Jones, both of Gadsden, are charged with attempted murder and first-degree robbery.
Both are in the Etowah County Detention Center. Harris is being held on $125,000 bond on each charge. Jones’ bond is set at $50,000 for each charge.
The couple were identified as suspects in the theft of a gun.
According to the theft report, the gun was in a vehicle and its owner was talking with the two suspects in the Fairview area.
The gun’s owner was shot while riding in a car with a man and a woman. He told police the car was stopped at McGuire Street when the man pulled out a gun and shot him. He got out and ran, and the man apparently pursued him and shot him several times.
The victim’s mother filed a police report about the theft of the gun she bought for her son, naming the two people now charged with attempted murder as suspects in the theft. She had checked early Aug. 21 to see if the gun was in her son’s vehicle, and it wasn’t.
