Well, the Washington Times (4/19/08) reported otherwise:
A key witness in a federal probe into passport information stolen from the State Department was fatally shot in front of a District church, the Metropolitan Police Department said yesterday.

Lt. Quarles Harris Jr., 24, who had been cooperating with a federal investigators, was found late Thursday night slumped dead inside a car, in front of the Judah House Praise Baptist Church in Northeast, said Cmdr. Michael Anzallo, head of the department’s Criminal Investigations Division.

...One agency employee, who was not identified in documents filed in U.S. District Court, was implicated in a credit-card fraud scheme after Lt. Harris told federal authorities he obtained “passport information from a co-conspirator who works for the U.S. Department of State.
So Harris did at least get the information, even if he wasn't involved in the original theft.

The Washington Times reporting is flawed. Leiutenant (note the spelling) Quarles Harris Jr., aka: LQ, aka Foots, was a DC gangbanger who got pulled over. In his car the cops found marijuana packaged for sale and, more interestingly, 20 credit cards in various names, as well as eight completed passport applications. Harris confessed that he was part of an identity theft ring that had someone inside the private company that processes the applications for the State Dept, and this person was giving them the completed forms. While out on bail, he got himself shot. Whether it was for snitching or some other street beef is unknown.

“So Harris did at least get the information, even if he wasn’t involved in the original theft.”

No, he didn’t. The case the Times reported on was an entirely separate case, and had nothing to do with the passport breach of the presidential candidates. Harris’ case related to an employee of the State Dept passing him vital information for use in credit card fraud, while the other case related to contractors working for Brennan’s firm accessing the passport records directly through the access they had at Brennan’s company.

The only connection between the two cases is that they were mentioned in the same article by the Washington Times, but when people started confusing the two cases, the Times issued a clarification that the two cases were not related:

“Mr. Harris was fatally shot in Northeast Washington in April. Police at the time said they had no information linking his shooting to his involvement in the passport case.

The breach came to light in March around the same time The Times first reported that three State Department contract employees were being investigated for improperly accessing the passport data of presidential candidates Sens. Barack Obama, John McCain and Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Mr. McCormack said the cases are not related.”
