Two Jefferson City men have been charged with being involved in drug activities last week during the same time and location where a shooting later led to the death of the Lincoln University student government president.
DeAngelo Frazier Jr., 29, and Michael Bouchee, both 19, are each charged with one count of delivery of a controlled substance.
Jefferson City Police Department probable cause statements state officers were called the night of Dec. 11 to the 200 block of Dawson Street for a weapons offense.
When they arrived, officers found more than 20 spent shell casings outside 208 Dawson St.
A short time later, officers stopped a vehicle that had been seen leaving the area where the shooting occurred.
Four people were inside the vehicle, one of them being D'Angelo Bratton-Bland, 23, the Student Government Association president at Lincoln University, who had been shot. He was rushed to University Hospital in Columbia and later died from his injures.
Authorities said Bratton-Bland was a victim who did nothing to contribute to his fatal shooting. They believed he was walking in the area at the time.
Back at 208 Dawson, officers had obtained a search warrant to go through the residence as they investigated the shooting.
They secured a second search warrant after officers walked through the home and allegedly found 108 grams of marijuana separated in four cellophane baggies, numerous electronic scales and a large amount of small cellophane baggies, which authorities said could be used to package narcotics.
On Wednesday, Frazier came to the police department for an interview with investigators. After being read his rights, Frazier allegedly admitted he resides at 208 Dawson and that he was present when the shooting took place. He said he fled a short time after the shooting occurred.
A consent search of Frazier's phone revealed "numerous" videos of using and advertising marijuana for sale.
Court records show Frazier has several prior convictions for narcotics and is currently on probation for unlawful possession of a firearm.
Authorities interviewed Bouchee on Dec. 14. He denied he lived at 208 Dawson, but allegedly admitted to having several personal items at the residence.
Authorities got a search warrant to search Bouchee's phone and found photographs and videos using and advertising marijuana for sale. Other interviews Bouchee had with investigators placed him at the residence at the time of the shooting.
Court records show Bouchee has a pending case out of Camden County for felony resisting arrest.
As of Wednesday, no one has been charged in connection with the murder of Bratton-Bland.
