Kayla Harris obituary, 24, Adams State University Basketball Player, Tragically Killed in Las Vegas Apartment Complex Shooting, Community Mourns Loss of Promising Young Woman
Kayla Harris, a 24-year-old woman who played basketball at Adams State University in Alamosa, Colorado, is one of five people killed in a tragic shooting at an apartment complex near Las Vegas. David Tandberg, the university’s president, remembered Harris as an exceptional student-athlete who excelled both on and off the court.
Harris was working on a master’s degree in business administration and was known for her dedication, passion, and kindness. Her tragic passing has left a void in the lives of her loved ones, teammates, and the university community. The coroner’s office identified the other victims as Damiana Moreno, Amy Damian, Jeannette Faria-Webster, and Harris’s girlfriend, who has not been named.
The shooter, Eric Adams, killed Harris, his former girlfriend’s daughter, and her girlfriend, as well as a neighbor who tried to help. He then went into an upstairs unit and killed two more people before taking his ex-girlfriend hostage and fleeing. Adams was later seen with a firearm and died by suicide after refusing to drop his weapon.
The community is in shock and mourning the loss of five innocent lives, including Kayla Harris, a promising young woman with a bright future ahead of her. Her memory will live on in the hearts of her family, friends, and teammates, and her legacy will continue to inspire us to be better versions of ourselves.
