COLUMBIA — A man was hospitalized Friday afternoon after being stabbed in the back at around 2 p.m. in the alley behind Hitt Street Mini Mart, located at 111 Hitt St., according to a news release from the Columbia Police Department. The victim was treated at University Hospital, and none of his injuries were life threatening, the release said.
Michelle Silvey, a friend of the victim, said at the scene that the stabbing was an escalation of an argument that occurred Thursday over a woman.
- A stabbing victim is escorted to a University Hospital ambulance in front of Hitt Street Mini Mart.
As paramedics bandaged his wound, the victim repeated: "I'm a gangster, too. I'm gonna kill him."
Based on witness statements, officers identified Kenneth M. Robinson of Columbia as a suspect. They then located and arrested him on suspicion of second-degree assault and armed criminal action.
Robinson was taken into custody and transferred to the Boone County Sheriff's Office. He has not yet made any statement regarding the stabbing.

The problem is Jarrod Turner these gang bangers usually take other innocent lives out with them when they do this stuff.
your right...we need to give em shotguns instead of these little bitty Glocks...maybe they'd be a better aim...it's hard to hit someone when your hold the gun horizontal instead of vertical huh?
