Tony Lee Harris was an American basketball player from Seattle, Washington who played for professionally in Asia, Europe, and Brazil. In 2007 Harris was reportedly found dead in Brazil, after disappearing two weeks prior. Harris attended Garfield High School in Seattle and played for Washington State University. While at Garfield, his team made the state finals, and while at WSU the team reached the east regionals of the NCAA tournament. After working as a counselor in Seattle, he returned to Brazil in 2007 to play for Universo BRB, a basketball team in the capital of Brazil, Brasilia. His wife last heard from him on November 4, when he was apparently trying to take a taxi from one city to another. Brazilian media reported that teammates said he was acting strangely and he was said to have been sighted in Bezerra, a city near Brasilia, on foot and asking for money. Brazilian wire service EFE reported that he took a taxi to Goiania, then another taxi to the state of Rio Grande do Norte. Somewhere in Bahia, though, he jumped from the moving vehicle and ran off. Another account had him disappearing while the driver refueled, leaving his luggage in the vehicle.
