An arrest slip said Harris shot Mariah Wilson, 19, in the head as she ran from his apartment at Liberty Green on South Clay Street on Monday evening.
The report said the two had argued about a drug deal inside Harris' apartment.
When officers arrived at the scene, they found Wilson dead in a parking lot.

One of Wilson's friends said the 19-year-old had been fearing for her life recently.
But police haven't said if she was targeted or if the shooting was a random act.
"I was watching TV and I heard some firecrackers. I thought it was firecrackers," neighbor Sara Cowan said.
"My first instinct was to go help her. She was moving but then I didn't know where the gunman was," neighbor Shekinah Armstrong said.
Authorities said Wilson died from a single gunshot wound.
Some neighbors said they saw up to four people running away from the scene.
One close friend said Wilson had been getting threatening text messages and phone calls recently.
But police haven't said it she was a target.
"It has to stop somewhere and at the end of the day people just need to stop the killing because one day, one day, we all have to answer for the things that we do," one neighbor said.
Harris is due in court Thursday.
