Motion to dismiss filed in 2018 Jefferson City fatal shooting case

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KMIZ)

A motion to dismiss charges has been filed in a 2018 Jefferson City fatal shooting.

JaHuan Whirley is charged with first-degree murder and other crimes in the shooting death of 33-year-old Justin Kammerich.

The motion seeks to dismiss the eight charges because Whirley was underage at the time of the crimes.

A motion for release on own recognizance or to reduce bond was also filed because Whirley is being held without bond.

Whirley is charged with first-degree murder, first-degree assault, first-degree robbery, two counts of armed criminal action, first-degree attempted robbery and unlawful use of a weapon.

A pre-trial conference is scheduled for March 15 and a jury trial is scheduled for March 21.
