Two convicted felons who were arrested by Columbia Police after last weekend’s shooting in downtown Columbia now face federal charges that they possessed ammunition after a prior felony conviction.
Federal prosecutors say 21-year-old Detravion Coats of Columbia was allegedly seen on surveillance video discharging his weapon ten times at a group of people. Coats has multiple prior felony convictions.
Federal prosecutors also say 21-year-old Treyvale Demarkus Cain-Raybon of Columbia was allegedly seen on video firing twice. He has a previous felony conviction for unlawful use of a weapon.
Federal law prohibits anyone with prior felony convictions from possessing firearms or ammunition.
