COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A Moberly man was booked into the Randolph County Jail on Thursday for second-degree murder.

David K. Heyde, 68, was awaiting arraignment and was jailed on no bond. Information about the accusations against him was not immediately available.

Heyde lives in the area where a 23-year-old woman, Bailey Scott, was shot dead Sunday night. Randolph County Prosecutor Stephanie Luntsford told ABC 17 News on Thursday that Heyde was charged in Scott's death. Charges have yet to appear on Casenet.

Heyde was moved to the Macon County Jail on Thursday evening, according to an email from Brad Germann, of the Missouri State Highway Patrol's Crime and Drug Division.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol is investigating the shooting at the request of Moberly police. Heyde has an expired peace officer's license, and City of Moberly records say he was once an employee there. Further details about his employment were not available because records more than 20 years old are not maintained.
