COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
A 19-year-old felon has been arrested in connection with the deadly shooting of a 20-year-old on Wednesday in central Columbia.
Damarius Kavanaugh, of Columbia, was arrested on suspicion of second-degree murder, armed criminal action, illegal gun possession and tampering with physical evidence after William Riechers of Columbia was found shot dead in the area of Allen and Bryant streets.
Kavanaugh just completed a 120-day prison program for unlawful use of a weapon and felony motor vehicle tampering, along with misdemeanor resisting arrest, last month.
Kavanaugh was in the Boone County Jail on Thursday morning with no bond. Charges were not publicly available in online court records.
