A Houston man has been sentenced to life in prison for the fatal shooting of a 21-year-old in 2017.

Horace Harris, 24, was facing life in prison without parole if convicted of capital murder in the fatal shooting of 21-year-old Melton McGee on Oct. 23, 2017. Instead of going to trial on capital murder, Harris pleaded guilty to murder, which means he cannot appeal the conviction or his life sentence.

McGee was sitting in his car at an apartment complex on Atascocita Road in Humble when he was ambushed by Harris and two other men armed with guns. Harris’ fingerprints and palm prints were later found on the window of McGee’s door, consistent with Harris trying to push the window down or hold it down as it was being rolled up.

According to the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, Harris is a documented member of the 59 Bounty Hunters , and later admitted to helping rob McGee and taking property out of the car after McGee had been killed.
