A detention hearing is scheduled Monday in Broward County, Florida for a truck driver accused of killing a St Joseph woman by shoving her out of his moving semi.

Kecia King, 46, died January 22 after she was found badly injured along I-29 near the Pickett Road overpass in St Joe.

Two days later, prosecutors filed charges of involuntary manslaughter against Kent Harris, 49, of Greenville, Mississippi.

He was arrested that day in Deerfield Beech, Florida. Bond is set at $100,000.

The suspect used to drive for Triumph Foods in St Joseph. At the time of King’s death, he was employed by Best Mark Trucking in Strong City, Kansas.

At a hearing Monday, a judge in Florida will ask Harris if he will voluntarily return to Missouri to face charges here. If he agrees, Harris could be arraigned in Buchanan County within a week or two . If not, an extensive process involving the governors of both states will lead to an extradition hearing within a couple of months.

Court documents assert that Harris met up with King at a local nightclub on Saturday, January 21. A witness reports seeing them leave together in Harris’es truck. King was found that night, badly injured, along the interstate, and died the following day at Heartland Regional Medical Center.

An autopsy determined she died of severe head trauma.
