An Osage County man has been sentenced to life in prison for a 2024 murder in Arkansas. Twenty six-year-old Aston Wardlow was sentenced to four life sentences plus 830 years in West Memphis recently.

Wardlow and Harris had been in a relationship for six years. A friend of the victim testified that the relationship between the two was abusive.
Wardlow fired 17 shots into Harris’ vehicle, killing her . Following the shooting, Harris’ vehicle crashed into a residence, nearly killing a person who was inside the home. Wardlow then fled to Carbondale, in Osage County. Osage County Sheriff’s Deputies arrested him on June 29, 2024, and he was extradited back to West Memphis, Arkansas
