An 18-year-old suspect from Columbia is charged as an adult with vehicle hijacking and five other felonies for January’s shots fired incident at Dick’s Sporting Goods and a subsequent carjacking near Chick-fil-A.
18-year-old Darius Lamb is jailed without bond and the court has banned him Dick’s Sporting Goods.
Court documents say Lamb fired ten shots “inside a crowded” Dick’s Sporting Goods then escaped by carjacking a woman who was eating Chick-fil-A at Shoppes at Stadium. There were no serious injuries in the incidents.
Lamb was captured that night after a high-speed pursuit and crash in Pettis County.
Our news partner ABC-17 reports he was certified as an adult Thursday during a juvenile court hearing. Court documents also say Lamb has previously been arrested for weapons offenses in different counties in Missouri.
What it means: Lamb is now charged as an adult in this case and is currently jailed without bond.
What’s next: Lamb’s initial arraignment date hasn’t been set yet and online court records show he doesn’t have an attorney yet. Lamb COULD be arraigned Friday afternoon in Boone County on the video docket.
