A Jefferson City man who was shot during Thursday night’s gun battle on Alan lane in northeast Columbia is now charged with eight felonies.
21-year-old Michael Gilmore Jr. is charged with three counts of first degree assault and five other felonies. Court documents say Gilmore was shot in the gunfight, and he was transported to University Hospital for treatment. He’s since been released and is jailed without bond.
Gilmore and 23-year-old Ammanuel Minuye are both accused of opening fire on a vehicle on Alan lane “that was simply driving down the road,” according to court documents. At least one person in the vehicle returned fire, and Gilmore was struck, according to CPD’s two page probable cause statement.
CPD’s investigation continues: anyone with information is encouraged to call Columbia Crimestoppers at (573) 875-TIPS.
