COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A 26-year-old man was taken to the hospital with minor injuries early Sunday morning after shots were fired at a Columbia apartment complex.

According to a press release from the Columbia Police Department, 22-year-old Columbia man Lorenzo Toledo was arrested on suspicion of first-degree assault, armed criminal action and unlawful use of a weapon.

CPD Lieutenant Derek Moore told an ABC 17 News reporter on scene Sunday that officers responded to a shots-fired call near the intersection of Old 63 South and East Broadway around 2 a.m.

Law enforcement found the man with head injuries that were not life-threatening, Moore said. He couldn't confirm if the victim was shot.

Toledo was taken into custody shortly afterward, Moore said. A Boone County Sheriff's deputy located his vehicle near McKee Street and Orchard Lane.

An ABC 17 News reporter arrived on scene around 3 a.m. and saw the Columbia Police Department's crime scene investigations van and three cruisers. Officers were seen taking pictures of a sedan in the parking lot of the Cliffside Manor Apartments that appeared to have one busted window behind the driver's side.

The scene cleared around 3:30 a.m.
