A Sturgeon man will be in front of a judge Monday afternoon for a hearing, after a deadly shooting in Northern Boone County earlier this month.
Dalton R. Perkins, 31, was charged with second-degree murder, armed criminal action and first-degree domestic assault in the death of a 56-year-old Sturgeon man. He pleaded not guilty in his arraignment. The Boone County Sheriff’s Office has not identified the victim.
Deputies were called to the 18900 block of Route NN in northern Boone County at about 8 p.m. on May 3, after Perkins shot the victim in a fight, according to the probable cause statement. The man had at least one gunshot wound to the torso and died at the scene despite being given life-saving aid.
The witness who reported the shooting said Perkins shot at them, grabbed their hair and threw them from the porch.
Deputies found Perkins nearby and arrested him.
Dalton will have a scheduled confined docket hearing in front of Judge Kayla Jackson-Williams at 1 p.m. in the Boone County Courthouse.
