COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
A man and a woman were charged on Monday after the former was accused of shooting at a home, while the latter was accused of tampering with evidence.
Marlon Meija-Fuentez was charged with first-degree assault, armed criminal action and unlawful use of a weapon. He is not listed on the Boone County Jail roster on Monday afternoon. A no-bond warrant was ordered.
Jacquelin Ramirez was charged with tampering with evidence in a felony prosecution. Court filings from Monday indicate she posted a $1,500 bond.
A probable cause statement says police were called at 7:02 p.m. Saturday to the 4400 block of Brown Station Road for a report of shots being fired. The victim allegedly told law enforcement that Ramirez’s husband had asked them to point a camera at the residence after allegations of infidelity occurred.
The victim saw someone from a Chevrolet Malibu with temp tags fire about two-to-four shots, the statement says. The home allegedly had damage from the shots being fired, police wrote. Ramirez allegedly told police that Meija-Fuentez shot at the home after she got into an ongoing feud with the victim after they gave video footage – of Meija-Fuentez at the home — to her husband, court documents say.
Another witness provided police with video evidence of the shooting, court documents say. In a second probable cause statement Ramirez allegedly told police she had a camera at the residence, but footage show the camera be moved to a different view before two shots were heard and a vehicle accelerates, the statement says. The camera view then moved back to where it was before, court documents say.
A Flock camera allegedly gave police a notification about the car with temp tags from Indiana driving toward the area about eight minutes before the shooting occurred, the statement says
