LAUREL, Miss. — A 20-year-old man wanted in connection to the shooting of Missouri football star Ahmad Hardy at an outdoor concert in Mississippi has been arrested.
Rashodrick Harris of Wayne County, Mississippi, was taken into custody in Paducah, Kentucky, on Thursday night and was awaiting extradition, Sgt. Macon Davis of the Laurel Police Department mentioned.
Hardy, an All-American running back and Doak Walker Award finalist for the Tigers, was shot in the upper leg Sunday while attending the concert at a biker club in Laurel, about 90 minutes away from his hometown of Oma. At least one other person was injured.

Hardy underwent surgery in Mississippi and returned to Columbia, Missouri, on Wednesday.
Harris will be charged with two counts of aggravated assault, Davis mentioned. The investigation is ongoing and more arrests are possible, he mentioned.
Three other people of interest who were taken into custody have been released with no charges, Davis mentioned.
Laurel police used security video to identify Harris as a suspect, and an arrest warrant was issued after an interview with a witness. Davis mentioned he didn’t know why Harris was in Paducah, which is a seven-hour drive from Laurel.
Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz mentioned Hardy’s status for this season was uncertain. Hardy ran for 1,649 yards — second in the FBS — and scored 16 touchdowns in helping the Tigers go 8-5 with a loss to Virginia in the Gator Bowl. Several NFL mock drafts already list the 5-foot-10, 205-pound Hardy as the No. 1 running back available next April.
