Victim dies after shooting on I-70 and Highway 63 connector
UPDATE 4:43 P.M.: ABC 17 News learned on Thursday that Hurt was taken to Rusk Rehabilitation Center in Columbia four days after the shooting on the connector. Hurt was also set to appear in court on Tuesday for driving with a revoked license.
Rusk Rehabilitation sent a letter saying that Hurt couldn’t appear and his discharge date was July 28. The Boone County Medical Examiner’s Office told ABC 17 News that Hurt was taken from Rusk back to University Hospital in the past few days, where he died in the emergency room.
Once an autopsy on Hurt is complete, the prosecutor can look at new charges for the now deadly shooting.
