Joshua Barnard was an ex-Marine, sworn to protect the country. But he turned into an extremist Boogaloo Boy and led rioters in Columbia in a violent uprising that injured police and damaged property.
There was a wave of openings in the Columbia and Lexington area in 2023, with restaurants, clothing shops, department stores and more making their debut.
A viral video circulated in early October was taken at the Columbia animal shelter, drawing outcry. But city leadership says the video lacks context and there’s more to know about the situation at the Shop Road shelter.
