- Rashodrick Harris arrested in Paducah, Kentucky, and awaiting extradition for the shooting of Missouri star Ahmad Hardy.
- Ahmad Hardy was shot in the upper leg at an outdoor concert in Laurel, Mississippi, and underwent surgery.
- Laurel police used security video to identify Harris and issued an arrest warrant after a witness interview.
- Coach Eli Drinkwitz said Hardy's season status is uncertain, noting his 1,649 yards and 16 touchdowns, making him a top NFL draft prospect.
Why it matters: Missouri’s football program loses a leading rusher and NFL prospect, while the NFL draft class shifts as teams reassess Hardy’s health; the suspect’s arrest restores public safety and underscores cross‑state police cooperation.
