Court documents assert that Trevor Keith was shot after an argument in a vehicle December 15 in the 3000 block of Parkway A. Two men were charged with 2nd Degree Assault and Armed Criminal Action in connection with the shooting. Each defendant waived his preliminary hearing this week in Buchanan County court.
Gerald Lee Johnson, 29, is being held without bail pending his formal arraignment January 28. Co-defendant Adrian Zominique Taylor, 27, is scheduled for arrainment February 8. He remains in custody, unable to post $150,000 bail.
According to court documents Johnson was sitting in the rear passenger side of the vehicle and Taylor was seen in the front passenger side both with a handgun pointed towards the driver, later identified as the shooting victim.
“A fight appears to be occurring inside the vehicle and the defendant is seen exiting the vehicle while pointing his weapon at the victim inside the vehicle and ultimately firing at the victim, still located in the vehicles drivers seat,” said Detective Frank Till with the St. Joseph Police Department.
