Two people were charged last week with assault in a confrontation that preceded the Aug. 24 fatal shooting in downtown Kansas City, Missouri.

Jaylynn Nelson and Kolton Schultz each face one count of fourth-degree assault.

Punishment for the class A misdemeanor ranges from one year of jail time to a fine not to exceed $2000 or both.

KCPD officers were called around 4 a.m. on Aug. 24 to the parking lot at 13th and Grand.

Upon arrival, officers located five shooting victims.

One victim died at the scene, one victim was later pronounced dead, and the three others were hospitalized with their injuries.

More than 100 spent shell casings were recovered from the scene, as well as three firearms, per a court document.
