Columbia police have arrested three teenagers in connection to a double shooting Thursday on Claudell Lane that resulted in the death of one victim.

Dariel Marquise Reid, 18, and Brian Hakeem Smith, 18, both of Columbia, were arrested on charges of second-degree murder, according to a news release from the Columbia Police Department.

Columbia police spokeswoman Bryana Larimer said officers were sent to the 1000 block of Claudell Lane at 12:49 p.m. Thursday for reports of a gunshot wound. They found two victims, one with life-threatening injuries, Larimer said.

The victim with life-threatening injuries was identified Friday as Keith E. Chambers, 33, who died at a local hospital soon after being taken there.

Chambers and Smith planned to purchase marijuana from Reid, who was with a 16-year-old male whom police did not identify, according to the release. An argument took place during the transaction, and the men shot at one another. Reid was shot in the arm and Chambers in the chest.

The news release did not say who shot whom, and Larimar when asked declined to identify the shooter.

Reid also was arrested for felony charges of distribution/delivery/manufacture/production of a controlled substance. His bonds will be set by the court.

Smith�s other charges are robbery, unlawful use of a weapon and felony distribution/delivery/manufacture/production of a controlled substance. His bonds also will be set by the court.

The unidentified 16-year-old also was taken into custody on charges of second-degree murder, armed criminal action, unlawful use of a weapon and felony distribution/delivery/manufacture/production of a controlled substance. The Boone County Juvenile Office will handle his disposition.

Larimer said Thursday that multiple people were being detained in connection with the shooting. Police had blocked off the entrance and exit to Columbia Square Town Homes, where the shooting happened, and officers were interviewing residents of the complex Thursday afternoon.

�We don�t want any witnesses leaving the area until we�re able to get everybody interviewed,� Larimer said. �This is a very large crime scene.�

Larimer said shell casings were found throughout the property and that one residence was struck by gunfire.

Jameecia Kelly, 25, said she was getting dressed when she heard a gunshot. She said she saw a black male shoot at two other black males as they were working on a Chevy Monte Carlo in the parking lot.

Kelly said she then saw the two males start to run, splitting up to go different directions.

Larimer said the victims were found in different locations within the complex and that it was unclear whether others were involved.
