Man who suffered life-threatening injuries in Columbia shooting charged with 8 felonies

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A man who suffered serious injuries in a north Columbia shooting last week was charged Tuesday with eight felonies.

Michael D. Gilmore Jr., 21, of Jefferson City, was arrested Monday. Boone County Assistant Prosecutor Paul Wade charged Gilmore on Tuesday with three counts of first-degree assault, four counts of armed criminal action and a count of unlawful use of a weapon, according to online court records.

Police found Gilmore injured on Thursday in the 1700 block of Ballenger Lane after a reported shooting on nearby Alan Lane, according to court documents. Gilmore is accused of being part of a group on foot who shot at three people in a car.

A co-defendant, Ammanuel Minuye, was charged last week.

Police believe Gilmore and Minuye were on foot when they fired, and the people in the car fired back. The people in the car told officers that a group of three people shot at them, but Minuye told officers that only Gilmore was with him, according to a probable cause statement.

The people in the car drove to Casey's on Clark Lane, where one of them sought help for a minor gunshot wound, court documents say.

Minuye allegedly told police during an interrogation that he and Gilmore had been shot at.

Gilmore was in the Boone County Jail without bond on Tuesday. No hearings had been set as of Tuesday morning.
