Man accused of firing gun in parking lot during ‘underground racing event’ faces more felony charges

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A Columbia man who was charged earlier this week after he allegedly fired a gun in a parking lot has been charged in another case.

Jadon Gooldy, 20, was charged on Monday with first-degree assault, unlawful use of a weapon, two counts of armed criminal action and one count of misdemeanor fourth-degree assault. He is now additionally charged in a separate case with unlawful use of a weapon, armed criminal action and misdemeanor fourth-degree assault.

He is being held at the Boone County Jail without bond. A court date for the new charges has not been announced, while his first case has hearings scheduled for 1 p.m. Tuesday and 9 a.m. Thursday, May 15.

In his new case, Gooldy is accused of pulling out a gun during a road rage incident on April 11, according to the probable cause statement. The victim in the case allegedly told police that they accidentally cut off Gooldy in traffic, the statement says. Gooldy started “brake checking” the victim, though court documents do not say how or when Gooldy’s vehicle got in front of the victim’s.

The victim allegedly told Gooldy to pull over in a parking lot and Gooldy pulled out a gun and pointed it at the victim when they both stopped, the statement says. The victim was able to identify Gooldy from his mugshot on the 0700 report, court documents say.

Gooldy was accused of firing a gun near someone’s head on Saturday during an underground racing event, court documents in previous reporting say. Shrapnel from the bullet allegedly ricocheted and hit another person in the leg.

Witnesses said in court documents that Gooldy was angry after a woman used a racial slur.
