She is in the Montgomery County Jail on a $5 million bond and is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday.
The charges stem from the shooting death of 30-year-old Shyanna Mitchell on Jan. 17.
Police were called to the 4700 block of Opperman Avenue just before 3 p.m. for a reported shooting.
According to the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office, on arrival officers found Mitchell in the basement of the residence with a gunshot wound to her head.
After speaking with other people inside the residence and investigating further, police said that they found the two women and their boyfriends all lived in the residence.
The prosecutor’s office said that Harvey and Mitchell were arguing when Harvey went upstairs, retrieved a 9mm handgun, went back to the basement and fatally shot Mitchell.
In a Riverside police report, officers said that Harvey had scratches on her face and chest, and witnesses said that the two women were fighting when the shooting happened.
Harvey was taken into custody without incident, walking outside with her hands up when police arrived, the report said.
In the report, police said that Harvey said multiple times that she did not mean for the shooting to happen and made multiple statements that she was shocked.
While being handcuffed, she asked police if she could hit her vape, the officer said, and later asked if she was going to jail for life and why she could not cry.
