Columbia Police investigators have arrested a man in connection with an isolated weekend shooting.
Michael DeWayne Haggwood (DOB: 7-14-1981) is charged with Attempted Murder and Possession of a Weapon during the Commission of a Violent Crime. The arrest was a joint effort by the Midlands Gang Task Force.
Haggwood is accused of shooting a 22-year-old man twice in the leg. The victim continues to recover from his non-life threatening injuries.
Witnesses tell CPD investigators that they saw Haggwood shoot the man from a gray Crown Victoria shortly after 3:00 p.m. at 320 South Beltline Boulevard on Sunday, March 19, 2017. No one else was injured.
The shooting’s motive stems from an on-going argument between the two.
