Andre "Jigga" Harris was John Walsh's #5 Most Wanted wanted fugitive of 2005. His addition was notable for two reasons- 1) He, along with indirect capture Donald Lynch, were last-minute replacements for Direct capture Peter Braunstein and indirect capture Cesar Lira, who were caught right before the top 10 episode and were speculated to have been on the show had they not been. and 2) I believe him and Lynch were the only 15-second of shamers in history to make a John Walsh top 10 list, as it seemed Walsh usually had a full-profile rule in order to make his list.
The following is the description of his crime from an old AMW page about the 2005 top 10 list:
NYPD Detective Peter Vasquez says he wants to get Andre Harris "in the worst way." That's because in July 2004, police say Harris --who goes by the nickname "Jigga"-- and an accomplice walked into the Bronx, N.Y. home of Osmond and Valry Hacker intent on robbing them. When Osmond Hacker struggled with the men, they fired, hitting Osmond four times and Valry twice. Although she was just wounded, he died at the scene and now police want to make sure Harris gets what he deserves.
Thoughts? Unfortunately, with his profile removed, I can't find much info on him and don't remember if it listed his possible locations which would be a tremendous help. The NYC metro and surrounding tri-state area is large enough fugitives often stay there despite it being near where they're a fugitive (in other words, Newark is far enough away from the Bronx). He doesn't strike me as someone who would flee to a foreign country, so he's probably still in the states somewhere.
UPDATE: It is has now been five years since a posting was made on this thread but I can still find nothing online to confirm whether or not Harris is still at large as of this update (7/20/2018). My advice would be to double check he is still wanted, but do call authorities and/or NYPD Crime Stoppers if you know his whereabouts.
