One of four Columbia teenagers who were charged in connection with the shooting of two juveniles in Jefferson City in December has pleaded guilty to the charges he faced in the case and was placed on five years supervised probation.
Jaron Gates, 18, was charged with aiding and abetting and armed criminal action.
He must also complete a 120-day shock detention sentence, with credit for time served.
A Jefferson City Police Department probable cause statement shows the shooting occurred in the 600 block of School Street.
The teens were in a car that went down School Street - which is a dead end - turned around and came back. The two victims were outside of one of the residences on the street when they were shot.
The statement said this group confronted the two juveniles "over an ongoing dispute from earlier in the year."
The Columbia teens fled the scene, but were eventually pulled over and arrested on U.S. 63, near the Boone County line.
The victims suffered injuries to their legs.
Gates was identified as being in the vehicle by others involved in the incident, but denied being at the scene.
Investigators later learned the teens went to a residence in Jefferson City where the gun that was used to commit the crime was hidden and eventually recovered.
