Grand jury indicts man accused of killing Stephens College student in downtown shooting

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A man who is accused of shooting and killing a Stephens College student last month in downtown Columbia was indicted by a grand jury on Friday.

Misael Covarrubias, 23, is charged in Boone County with second-degree murder, three counts of armed criminal action, two counts of first-degree assault and a single count of unlawful use of a weapon in the shooting death of Aiyanna Williams. 

He is being held at the Boone County Jail without bond. An arraignment is scheduled for 9 a.m. Monday, Nov. 10.

Covarrubias allegedly told police that he is from Florida but had been living in Columbia for about five months, court documents in previous reporting say.

He is accused of firing 11 shots at 1:42 a.m. on Sept. 27 and hitting three people.

Police initially said Covarrubias was involved in an argument and began firing, though none of the people hit by gunfire were involved in the exchange.
