On June 24, 2026, officers with the Columbia Police Department responded to a reported shooting at a redacted Columbia address. According to the probable cause statement, William Anthony Haynes Jr. reported that a person he identified as his cousin came to his residence after being shot. Haynes transported the victim to the 500 block of N. Keene Street, where officers made contact. The victim had apparent gunshot wounds to his right arm and was transported to University Hospital. The victim told officers he had been inside his maroon Pontiac at The Greens Apartments in the 5100 block of Clark Lane when someone tried to rob him and shot him.
Officers responded to the 5100 block of Clark Lane and located several cartridge casings. Officers also located a second person with an apparent gunshot wound. Haynes' maroon Pontiac G6 was parked on the street nearby. The vehicle had a bullet hole in the front windshield, about four bullet holes in the rear driver's side door, and blood inside the vehicle. Officers also located blood in the driveway and near the front door of the residence. Officers entered the residence to check for additional victims and observed blood and a Glock 27 pistol on the floor just inside the front door. Officers also observed blood in the kitchen and a second pistol in the closet of an upstairs bedroom.
Detectives later spoke with Haynes in the 500 block of N. Keene Street. Haynes confirmed he lived at the residence. When asked about firearms inside the residence, Haynes stated he owned a .40-caliber pistol, which was in the closet. When asked about the Glock pistol by the front door, Haynes stated it was not his and must belong to the victim.
Detectives obtained a search warrant for the residence. During the search, detectives and crime scene investigators located a black Glock 27 .40-caliber pistol on the living room floor near the front door. They also located a black Taurus PT22 .22-caliber pistol in the upstairs southwest bedroom closet, and a black Glock 23 .40-caliber pistol in the upstairs southwest bedroom on the bed underneath a pillow.
The probable cause statement says the Taurus PT22 pistol had previously been reported stolen in Columbia. On June 6, 2023, the owner reported that the Taurus PT22 pistol, valued at $350, had been stolen from inside her green Toyota Highlander while it was parked in the 1300 block of Hickam Drive in Columbia.
Detectives and crime scene investigators also located approximately 2,536.36 grams, or 5.59 pounds, of marijuana in numerous packages inside the residence. Investigators also located multiple boxes of sandwich bags or baggies, a bag of rubber bands, several digital scales, marijuana pipes, rolling papers, vape cartridges, at-home marijuana drug tests for urine, approximately $3,000 in cash, and other paraphernalia described as indicative of narcotics distribution.
An officer reviewed crime scene photographs and reported that multiple documents and packages inside the residence were addressed to Haynes. The officer stated the only bed or mattress in the residence was in the upstairs southwest bedroom, where the stolen Taurus PT22 pistol and Glock 23 pistol were located. Items bearing Haynes' name were also located in the upstairs southwest bedroom, including two expired Safeco Insurance cards, an orange-and-white Hydrocodone prescription bottle, and Moberly Area Community College student schedule documents. Marijuana in multiple containers, digital scales, and boxes of sandwich bags were also located in that bedroom.
The probable cause statement also notes that Haynes had previous arrests for leaving the scene of an accident, possession of marijuana, domestic assault in the second degree, and driving while revoked or suspended.
Haynes is now charged with delivery of a controlled substance except 35 grams or less of marijuana or synthetic cannabinoid, unlawful use of a weapon by possessing a weapon and felony controlled substance, armed criminal action, and stealing a firearm.
