On July 3, 2026, officers with the Columbia Police Department investigated a reported domestic assault at a residence in Columbia. According to the probable cause statement, the victim reported that Akil Lashun McKinney Jr. was in the kitchen of the residence playing cards when an argument began.
The victim stated that during the argument, McKinney reached across the kitchen table, grabbed the victim, and threw the victim onto the kitchen floor. The victim reported that McKinney then got on top of the victim and punched the victim approximately five times with a closed fist.
According to the victim, another person pulled McKinney off the victim. The victim stated that McKinney then pushed past that person, grabbed the victim by a wig that was glued to the victimโs head, pulled the victim to the ground by the wig, and the wig detached.
The victim reported that McKinney was again pulled off the victim and escorted outside the residence. According to the victim, McKinney pushed past the person who removed him, kicked in the front door, and entered the residence again while attempting to reach the victim.
The victim stated that McKinney was pulled out of the residence a second time. According to the victim, McKinney again pushed past the person outside, kicked the door open again, and attempted to reach the victim.
The victim reported that because McKinney had already assaulted her and because she feared McKinney was going to assault her again, she sprayed McKinney with bear spray inside the kitchen as he approached. McKinney reportedly told the victim, โyouโre gonna die,โ during the incident.
The victim described the pain as 8.75 out of 10 and stated the pain was worse than childbirth. The victim also stated the victim feared for her life and did not want to return to the residence.
An officer reported observing damage to the front door of the residence. The officer also observed the victimโs wig on the floor of the residence, ripped in half. The victim estimated the damage to the front door at approximately $800 and the damage to the wig at approximately $230.
The probable cause statement notes that McKinney does not live with the victim. The statement further notes that two children under the age of 5 were inside the residence during the incident, were exposed to bear spray, and had breathing issues. Medics responded to the scene.
According to the probable cause statement, McKinney has been arrested for failure to appear and convicted of domestic assault. McKinney is now charged with domestic assault in the third degree, burglary in the first degree, and property damage in the first degree.
