A Boonville man who pleaded guilty to multiple felony charges for shooting at another vehicle on I-70 in Montgomery County more than a year and a half ago is scheduled to be sentenced this week.

A probable-cause statement says on April 7, 2020, Missouri State Highway Patrol troopers responded to the report of shots fired from inside a moving vehicle that struck and disabled a van, which had three persons inside. Nobody was injured inside the van. A truck driver also gave an eyewitness account of the incident. The suspect was apprehended a short time later in Boone County.

On March 18, 2021, Chad Michael Kennedy pleaded guilty to six counts of unlawful use of a weapon; three counts of assault or attempt in the first degree; and one count of armed criminal action.

A sentencing hearing that has been postponed multiple times in the last six months- the latest on November 22- is now scheduled to be held at 9 a.m. Tuesday, December 28, at Montgomery County Circuit Court.
