Circuit Court Judge Robert Gaecke found there was sufficient evidence and therefore D’Montae Rowser was bound over for trial on 6 felony counts, including open murder, assault with intent to murder, armed robbery and 3 counts of felony firearm.
Jackson County Prosecutor Jerry Jarzynka spoke with WKHM and stated “This relates back to a shooting incident in the City of Jackson’s Southridge (Park) Apartments on January 9th, 2022 and resulted in the death of a 69 year old man”. The incident reportedly started with the sale of a video game system.
Jarzynka stated that the maximum possible penalty for Rowser is life in the department of corrections.
The pre-trial date in front of Circuit Court Judge Susan Bebee Jordan has yet to be scheduled. Rowser remains lodged in the Jackson County Jail.
