Weaver, the suspect, is the victim's older brother.
Harris says Weaver shot out of anger but didn't mean to hurt anyone. She is asking Weaver to come home and turn himself in to police.
"I miss you," Harris said, in hopes that Weaver would hear her message. "I love you. I forgive you. I don't hate you. I want you to come home. I'll come and turn yourself in with you. I know you didn't mean to do it and I love you. Just call me and come home."
