Harris was the subject of an Amber alert that was issued on Saturday and remained active until Thursday evening when police confirmed that they had found his body on Milwaukee’s northwest side.

Harris’ mother, 24-year-old Mallery Muenzenberger, was found dead in the backyard of a Milwaukee home on October 14th. Police had named a person of interest in her death, Jaheem Clark, who killed himself two days later as police were closing in on him.

Officers haven’t released any details on a potential motive behind the killings.
