A Houston woman who admitted to shooting her friend to death during an argument has been sentenced to 35 years in prison, Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg announced Thursday.
Frankie Williams, 32, pleaded guilty to murder earlier this month for shooting 34-year-old James Earl Harp at her north Houston home on March 13, 2020.
Investigators said Harp and Williams got into an argument that lasted at least an hour until she eventually shot him. “Unfortunately, we’re seeing more disputes ending in gunfire than ever before,” Ogg said. “Arguments should never be settled with a gun, and people who use their firearms with bad intentions, like in this case, will be held accountable.”
Williams cannot appeal the conviction or the sentence and must serve at least half of the sentence before becoming eligible for parole.
