COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A 16-year-old boy who is charged as an adult after he was accused of shooting at a vehicle filled with people in January has been indicted by a grand jury.   

Samiyon Myers, of Columbia, is charged with first-degree assault, delivery of a controlled substance, two counts of armed criminal action, two counts of unlawful use of a weapon, one count of shooting at a car and second-degree drug trafficking.

He is being held at the Boone County Jail without bond. An arraignment for the new set of charges is set for 9 a.m. Monday.

The probable cause statement says that police were called around 5:30 p.m. Jan. 19 for a shots-fired call in the 2100 block of West Worley Street. Witnesses claimed the suspects ran to the McDonald’s at 415 North Stadium Blvd. Six juveniles were taken into custody, according to the probable cause statement. Half of the juveniles were released to their parents.

A gun was found in a bag near Myers and video from the Columbia Mall allegedly showed Myers firing the gun at a vehicle, the probable cause statement says. Police saw bullet holes in the vehicle and were able to identify Myers by the color of his underwear, which was seen on video and was the only person wearing red, the statement indicates.

Myers was also allegedly found with 206 Oxycodone pills. The gun was allegedly stolen and police found additional guns in a garbage bin, the statement says.
