Harris worked as a manager at the McDonald’s at 17921 9 Mile Road in Eastpointe. She was killed on July 10 after being involved in an argument with Muhammad, according to police.
Prosecutors said that, based on the medical examiner’s autopsy, Harris had at least 13 stab wounds.
Prosecutors also claimed the only reason she stopped allegedly stabbing Harris, even after the manager collapsed to the ground, was a bystander firing a shot.
Four witnesses and two police officers took the stand in the preliminary hearing on Nov. 14, 2025, and described their encounter with the attack.

The judge reviewed the evidence presented by prosecutors on Nov. 14 and found that there was enough evidence for Muhammad to face trial.
Muhammad is expected to be arraigned in circuit court on Dec. 2, 2025, at 9 a.m.
