COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A bond was set for a woman charged with assault in relation to a Dec. 19 shooting at a gas station in Columbia.

Jasmine B. Bell, 26, is charged with first-degree assault. The Columbia Police Department said on Dec. 19 that it was looking for Terrance A. Johnson Jr., 27, on suspicion of shooting the man officers found injured at a Break Time at Paris Road and Vandiver Drive.  

Bell, of Columbia, was initially held without bond. Her bond was set to $50,000 at a hearing on Wednesday. She appeared in court by video from the Boone County Jail.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 12 at the Boone County Courthouse.

A probable cause statement filed in Bell's case names the victim with the initials C.W. The statement, relying on surveillance video, says C.W. was in a red car and Johnson was in a white SUV. The two got into an argument after the red car backed up to pull beside the SUV, the statement says.

C.W. got out and back into the car, which drove a short distance away, the statement says. Johnson then got out of the SUV with a rifle and shot several times at the red car, according to the statement

Police determined Bell was with Johnson after seeing her get out of the vehicle on surveillance video at Johnson's apartment, according to the statement.

Johnson is charged with first-degree assault, armed-criminal action and shooting a gun at a motor vehicle/person. He is not listed on the Boone County Jail's inmate roster.
