“We responded to a situation that took place after a birthday party for a female victim of domestic violence,” Deputy Chief Troy Kimble said. “We believe her ex-boyfriend was waiting for her to exit, and that’s when the shooting occurred.”
Montgomery allegedly fired a gun at the party leaving the restaurant, shooting a male victim one time in the left arm. He then fled the scene in a blue sedan with Texas license plates.
The victim was treated and later released from Merit Health River Region.
Montgomery is charged with aggravated assault with a firearm and will be held without bond pending his initial appearance in court.
