COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A man who was arrested last week in Jefferson City in connection with an April 26 shots-fired scene at a Waffle House on the north side of Columbia has been charged with two felonies.

D’Monte Lee, 19, of Jefferson City, was charged on Monday in Boone County with unlawful use of a weapon and armed criminal action. He is being held at the Cole County Jail. A court date has not been scheduled.

Damonte Jones, of Jefferson City, received the same charges last week. He is not currently listed on a jail roster.

The probable cause statement says the men were at the Waffle House on Vandiver Drive at 2:53 a.m.

Lee allegedly got out of a Ford, stood between two vehicles, pulled out a gun and shot at a vehicle on Range Line Street, police wrote that they saw from video in the area. Police wrote a second man also fired shots at the vehicle.  

A witness allegedly identified Jones as the second shooter while Jefferson City police investigated another case on April 30 that allegedly involved Jones pointing a gun at someone, the statement says. Police wrote that there was a National Integrated Ballistic Information Network match for Jones’ gun and shell casings found at the scene.
