Woman sentenced to 22 years in 2024 Conley Road Walmart shooting

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A woman was sentenced to 22 years in prison on Monday after she pleaded guilty last month to two felonies.

Whitney Nevels-McKee, 37, of Columbia, pleaded guilty in October to six felonies, including armed criminal action and carjacking. She is being held at the Boone County Jail.

She was accused of shooting at another woman last year in the parking lot of the Conley Road Walmart in Columbia.

McKee allegedly pointed a gun at a woman and shot it near the woman’s head. Multiple witnesses told police that they saw Nevels-McKee fire the gun, court documents in previous reporting say.

Another witness had stated that she was approached by Nevels-McKee in the parking lot while driving a car, and Nevels-McKee acted like she was going to pull out a gun, court documents say.

A reporter saw gunshot damage to a car in the parking lot. No injuries were reported.
