COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) - Authorities are investigating the deadly shooting of a 28-year-old man in northeast Columbia.

Police said in a news release that Cameron Scott Caruthers was pronounced dead at a hospital after the shooting Monday. Police say the shooting stemmed from a disturbance between two people who knew each other and that robbery doesn’t appear to be a motive.

One man was detained for questioning but has since been released.



Authorities are urging anyone with information to call police or a tips hotline.
