COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
A Columbia man who was accused in a February 2025 shooting in the central part of the city pleaded guilty on Tuesday to two felonies.
Michael Proctor Jr., 22, pleaded guilty to second-degree assault and unlawful use of a weapon. He was originally charged with first-degree assault, armed criminal action and unlawful use of a weapon. He will be sentenced at 9 a.m. Monday, April 13.
Court documents in previous reporting say Proctor insulted someone through a text message, prompting that person to go to Proctor’s residence.
Proctor shot the alleged victim while the man was still in his vehicle, the statement says.
