A second suspect was arrested Tuesday in connection to the shooting death of Jakob Cole, 19, of Columbia.
Malik D. Townsend, 22, of Columbia, was arrested Tuesday by the Boone County Sheriff s Office and charged with first-degree murder. This follows the March 4 arrest of Tyrese O. Perkins, 19, also of Columbia, also for first-degree murder.
Townsend is being held without bond at the Boone County Jail.
Cole was shot multiple times and was found in the driveway Feb. 15 of a home in the 4700 block of Millbrook Drive in western Columbia.
An investigation by the sheriff s department found Perkins and Cole had previous issues and planned to meet at the scene of the shooting for another fight, the department reported.
