The indictment alleged that Harris and his accomplices had committed the crimes on multiple occasions between 2017 and 2018, targeting various individuals in the Chicago area. The victims reported being robbed, threatened, and shot at by Harris and his accomplices.
Following the indictment, Harris was arrested and taken into custody. He was later arraigned in federal court, where he was advised of his rights and the charges against him.

In a sentencing hearing held on June 22, 2020, Harris was sentenced to 35 years in federal prison, followed by a five-year term of supervised release.
