Arrest warrants have been issued for three men for their alleged involvement in a Jan. 26 banquet hall shooting that injured five people, according to the information released Monday afternoon by the Cape Girardeau Police Department.

The release identified the suspects as 23-year-old Marquelis J. Andrews and 25-year-old Jaquavion M. Anderson, both of Charleston, Missouri, and 25-year-old Myron L. Andrews of Sikeston, Missouri.

Marquelis J. Andrews was charged with one count of first-degree assault, two counts of armed criminal action, six counts of second-degree assault and one count of unlawful use of a weapon. No photo of Marquelis J. Andrews was provided.

Myron L. Andrews was charged with one count of first-degree assault, five counts of armed criminal action, five counts of second-degree assault, one count of unlawful use of a weapon and one count of unlawful possession of a firearm.

Anderson was charged with one count of first-degree assault, five counts of armed criminal action, five counts of second-degree assault, one count of unlawful use of a weapon and one count of unlawful possession of a firearm.

Marquelis J. Andrews and Anderson remain at large, according to the release, and Myron L. Andrews is in custody at the Sikeston Department of Public Safety.

Following the shooting, the City of Cape Girardeau delivered a letter dated Jan. 29 that would revoke the liquor license from The River, also known as River Valley Banquet Center, 631 S. Sprigg St. The business has filed an appeal to the decision, which will be reviewed by the city’s Liquor License Review Board.
