Police find evidence of gunfire in southeast Columbia Friday morning

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Police found evidence of gunfire on Friday morning in the 4300 block of Kentsfield Lane, the Columbia Police Department wrote in a Friday afternoon social media post.

Police wrote that “all involved parties were gone” and that witness saw several people “cause a disturbance,” the post says. Police did not find anyone injured at the scene.  

A neighbor -- who asked to remain anonymous for safety reasons -- told ABC 17 News he was half-awake when he heard people arguing outside and someone yell, "put the gun away." Moments later, he said he heard a gunshot in the parking lot, then another upstairs in the building. He said that’s when he called 911.

The neighbor said he's lived at Aria Luxury Apartments for about a year and was shocked to hear gunfire in a place he's always considered quiet.

Another resident who lives in the same building said she had no idea anything even happened.

An ABC 17 News videographer arrived at the scene just after 2:30 a.m. and saw around 10 officers with the Columbia Police Department. Crime scene tape went up around 2:40 a.m., blocking off a portion of the 4400 block of Kentsfield Lane

Crime scene tape came down just before 3:30 a.m.
