Columbia police have identified two suspects in a shooting in a central Columbia neighborhood Tuesday night, but no arrests have been made.

Police said two men began shooting at each other at 11:40 p.m. Tuesday night at the corner of Trinity Place and Park Avenue, near Douglass Park. Witnesses said one of the shooters was in a car and the other was on foot, Sgt. Don Hawkins said in a news release.

Capt. Brad Nelson said blood was found at the scene, but a victim had not been found.

A similar shooting occurred May 25 a few blocks away on Lincoln Drive.

In that incident, two men were seen exchanging gunfire at the 200 block of Lincoln Drive. Police said they got in a dispute about a woman.

Rodrecus Holmes, 26, was charged with first-degree assault and armed criminal action in connection with the shooting. He is being held in the Boone County Jail on $100,300 bond.

Anyone with information regarding Tuesday’s shooting is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 875-8477.
