3 accused in Facebook Marketplace shooting get indicted by grand jury
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
Three adults accused of felony murder in the shooting death of Michael Burke were indicted by a Boone County grand jury on Friday.
Joseph Crane, Kobe Aust and Alexis Baumann, all 18, are each charged with first-degree robbery, two counts of armed criminal action and solo counts of felony murder. Crane and Aust, both of Columbia, are being held at the Boone County Jail without bond. Baumann, of Hallsville, bonded out of jail on Feb. 10.
Crane and Aust were scheduled be arraigned on Monday afternoon, while Baumann’s arraignment is set for 9 a.m. Monday, March 30.
A juvenile is accused of shooting Burke during a Jan. 18 cellphone sale that was organized through Facebook Marketplace. The juvenile has not been publicly identified by authorities, but is accused of being the shooter in court documents.
Court documents in previous reporting say Baumann allegedly told officers the juvenile suspect shot Burke, took his iPhone and then sold it at an ecoATM at the Walmart on Conley Road.
