Joseph Hecht Death | Obituary – Joseph Hecht murdered in downtown Columbia early Saturday morning July 25 2020
Documents, filed in the Boone County Circuit Court, accuse 23-year-old Kesan Tyree McNeal and 24-year-old Marlin Johnson of shooting Hecht in downtown Columbia for no apparent reason.
“It is believed this murder had a random victim who was just walking down the street at the time,” court documents said.
Both McNeal and Johnson are facing charges for the murder. However, Johnson remains at large.
McNeal was arrested Sunday. He was charged with second-degree murder on Monday. After his arrest, Columbia police asked for the public’s help identifying a second suspect in the fatal shooting.
On Monday, the Columbia Police Department identified Johnson as the second suspect and asked for the public’s assistance locating the suspect.
A GoFundMe was created to help the family of Joseph Hecht.
We express our sympathy and deepest condolences to Kenneth Norberg’s family today and in the days, weeks, months, and years that are to come as they cope with his passing. May his soul rest in peace.
