Multiple shots were also fired into a residence at 107 Florence St. McQueen said investigators collected “at least” nine shell casings from the scene.
Four adults and two children were inside the home at the time. There were no injuries.
Police believe Sunday’s altercation stemmed from two prior incidents involving Easley, Harris and a female resident in the home, one at the Columbus Fairgrounds last week and another at Club Rose’.
