The weekend downtown Columbia triple shooting suspect will likely heading back to prison soon to finish an old robbery sentence, on top of facing new charges.
Missouri Department of Corrections (DOC) spokeswoman Karen Pojmann tells 939 the Eagle that Missouri’s Probation and Parole Board has issued a warrant for the arrest of 28-year-old Deandre Denny, who was released from state prison last year.
Court documents show that surveillance cameras from several downtown Columbia businesses helped identify Denny, who is charged with three felonies: first degree assault, armed criminal action and unlawful possession of a firearm.
Sunday’s early-morning shooting happened at East Broadway and Ninth street, and court documents outline the chaotic gun battle that broke out. The court documents also say five vehicles parked on Broadway were struck by gunfire and that Breeze Bridal and Prom at 908 East Broadway was struck by several bullet fragments.
Online court records show Denny has at least six prior criminal convictions, including robbery, burglary and stealing.
