Boone County Sheriff’s deputies say there have been no arrests for murder in a June 2023 gang-related double homicide on Oakbrook drive, near the Columbia city limits near the Prathersville exit on Highway 63.
Boone County Sheriff’s Captain Brian Leer tells 939 the Eagle no one has been arrested for murder in this case. Two teens were shot to death and four others were wounded in that incident. Sheriff’s deputies say the double homicide happened during the early-morning hours during a party at a vacant residence. Deputies say there were dozens of people at the party “when a verbal disturbance broke out between two opposing groups.” That led to shots being fired and two juveniles, ages 16 and 17, being shot and killed.
Boone County Sheriff Dwayne Carey told 939 the Eagle’s “Wake Up Missouri” in June 2023 that the double homicide is gang-related. Anyone with information on the June 2023 incident on Oakbrook drive is encouraged to call Columbia Crimestoppers at (573) 875-TIPS. You can call that number anonymously.
