Biography

Westley Devon Harris (born April 3, 1980) is an American convicted mass murderer sentenced to death in Alabama for the murders of six people in 2002, which are known as the Ball family murders. Harris committed the killings in a local farm in Rutledge, Alabama on August 26, 2002, when he fatally shot six family members of his 16-year-old pregnant girlfriend, reportedly out of anger towards them for their attempts to separate him from his girlfriend and the couple's toddler daughter. After committing the murders, Harris abducted his girlfriend and went on the run for three days, before he was arrested and charged with six counts of capital murder.
