Investigators in Chattanooga, Tennessee , allege that a 27-year-old shot her younger sister in the back of the head and left her dead on a couch at home before the suspect took a Lyft to a Publix supermarket, called 911, and tried to pin the crime on another woman.
The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office investigation began after lunch on Thursday when a woman called 911 from Publix and purported to confess committing to a murder at a home located on a cul-de-sac at the end of Thrush Hollow Lane. That caller allegedly tried to pass herself off as the pregnant girlfriend of Moore’s husband, local NBC affiliate WRCB reported .

That apparently didn’t work, as the suspect named by authorities as Brittni Moore (Harmon) but listed in jail and court records under the name Brittani Nicole Harmon, is now charged with murder.
After the 911 call, the victim, identified in some places as 25-year-old Brianna Harmon and in others as Breanna, was found fatally shot on a couch at home. The defendant reportedly claimed she was asleep on the couch with the victim before seeing her sister get up to use her phone that morning. In other words, the suspect allegedly claimed that before she went to Publix her sister she was still alive at home.
