Suspects in Sunday’s fatal shooting in Columbia are still at large as of Tuesday morning, according to the Glasgow Police Chief TJ Livermore.
An ABC 17 News reporter arrived in Glasgow around 2:30 a.m. Tuesday and saw a few law enforcement vehicles in the area.
Livermore told ABC 17 News that the three suspects are considered to be armed and dangerous, but could not say if the suspects were still in the area. Livermore says that the community can still resume normal activities, but remain aware of your surroundings and report any suspicious activities.
Multiple law enforcement agencies were in a Howard County town Monday evening for a manhunt.
According to Livermore, the Glasgow Police Department was assisted by the Columbia Police Department SWAT, Chariton County Sheriff’s Department, Cooper County Sheriff’s Department, Fayette PD, Howard County, Saline County and the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
Columbia Police Department Deputy Chief Matt Stephens told ABC 17 News on Monday night that the department is involved in a manhunt for suspects in Sunday’s fatal shooting at a Columbia apartment complex. Stephens said that CPD received a mutual aid call from Glasgow police on Monday night.
An ABC 17 News reporter saw two males detained by law enforcement at 11:05 p.m. Monday near the intersection of Boone and 3rd streets, but they were let go. A four-door sedan was stopped at the intersection. A damaged vehicle was seen at a Casey’s location in town. The reporter saw multiple people run to the vehicle at Casey’s and speed away.
Livermore confirmed that the suspects they are searching for were involved in the incident at the Casey’s location in town, where they stole items. Livermore also confirmed evidence was recovered, but could not specify where.
Kyle Green, of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, told ABC 17 News that the patrol is helping the Howard County Sheriff’s Office and Glasgow Police Department with a search.
The City of Glasgow wrote on its social media at 9:34 p.m. that the residents should stay inside their homes.
