Officers responded to the shots fired call in the area of Providence Boulevard just after 12:30 a.m. on May 23. 2018. They were flagged down in the 200 block of Mitchell Street by a driver who said a passenger in his vehicle had been shot, police said at the time.
The car, a Chrysler 300, was pulled over in the driveway of a home on Mitchell.
Inside, officers found Hardy with a gunshot wound. She was taken by ambulance to a local hospital but died from her injuries.
Clarksville Police Chief David Crockarell thanked all those involved that found justice for Hardy's family.
"For the victim, we prevail," he said in a statement Friday.
