Boone County prosecutors have charged 21-year-old Kadean Cunningham for first degree assault, armed criminal action and domestic assault.

HERE IS OUR ORIGINAL STORY FROM MONDAY MORNING:
Columbia Police are currently seeking several charges against a local man suspected of a weekend shooting on Jacobs Place, which is just west of Highway 63 near Broadway.
Columbia Police say the victim suffered non-life threatening injuries. CPD investigators say they responded to a disturbance early Sunday morning at about 12:15 in the 2800 block of Jacobs Place and discovered that two adult men and an adult female got into an argument. Columbia Police say one of the men was shot and that he left the scene. CPD investigators found the wounded man on East Broadway, and he was transported by ambulance to a hospital.
Columbia Police are seeking multiple charges against 21-year-old Kadean Cunningham of Columbia, including first-degree assault, armed criminal action, unlawful use of a weapon and second-degree domestic assault.
939 the Eagle News checked online court records this weekend and found that Cunningham has previously been convicted of misdemeanor tampering with a motor vehicle and has also been convicted of misdemeanor domestic assault. He was sentenced to 60 days in jail on both cases, which appear to be unrelated.
Cunningham was also charged with a new misdemeanor count of assault in April, and that case is unresolved. Court documents in that case quote an unidentified witness as alleging that Cunningham had been abusing his girlfriend for as long as they can remember.
Boone County prosecutors are currently reviewing the weekend shooting.
