COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

The Callaway County Sheriff’s Office has identified the woman killed in a Sunday  shooting in Holts Summit.

The sheriff’s office wrote in a Tuesday social media post that the victim is Kara Dills, 37, of Holts Summit.

“Investigators have now confirmed that two individuals were shot during the incident. A third person, initially believed to have been shot, was instead physically struck with a firearm during the disturbance,” the post says.

The shooting occurred at Hunter Lane Apartments and authorities are investigating the shooting as a homicide. A man at the scene was charged on Monday with a misdemeanor, though he was not accused of firing a gun.

"Homicide investigations are complex. Investigators must carefully review all facts and circumstances before presenting the case to the Prosecutor’s Office for a decision on charges. This includes evaluating factors such as intent, self-defense, or the defense of others," the post says.
