Orrion Moody, 28, was shot on a Sunday night in northeastern Columbia, Missouri, near Ria Street just off Clark Lane and was taken to a local hospital in critical condition. He died the following Wednesday after several days of treatment. Authorities described the incident as a gun battle involving several people; details about motive and exactly what happened have not been released.

A 19-year-old Columbia resident, Tavion Johnson, was taken into custody in connection with the shooting and is being held in the Boone County jail. After Moody’s death was confirmed, prosecutors anticipated amending the charges against Johnson to reflect the fatal outcome. Moody’s family initially disputed early reports that he had died and hoped for his recovery before his passing was officially confirmed.
