Earlier this year, Shiauna Harris pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, malicious wounding, and attempted murder in the June 2019 hit-and-run.

Harris, who was 21 at the time of her arrest, got into a fight outside Image Restaurant and Lounge, along the 1700 block of E. Main Street, at about 2 a.m. Wednesday, June 26, 2019, according to witnesses.

Following the fight, Harris drove a car into several people along E. Main Street in Richmond's Shockoe Bottom neighborhood.

Shanice Woodberry, 22, was hit and killed. A medical examiner's report listed Woodberry's cause of death as blunt force trauma to head and neck.

Brittany Summers, a 29-year-old mother of three, was seriously injured.
