No murder charges for east Columbia shooter

The Boone County prosecutor says he will not charge the man who shot and killed Cameron Caruthers at an east Columbia home two years ago.

Dan Knight said Tuesday that Ricky Gurley acted in self-defense at the home on Dawn Ridge Road in May 2017, after the 28-year-old Caruthers threatened to kill Gurley and Caruthers’ ex-girlfriend.

Gurley was found guilty in federal court of being a felon in possession of a gun. He got a two-year sentence with credit for time served, and three years’ probation.
