Police have arrested Rayshide Teekyon Maxwell, 21, for an overnight shooting in northern Columbia that sent one man to the hospital.

Maxwell was charged with attempted murder and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime, according to a press release from the Columbia Police Department.

At roughly 4 a.m. Columbia Police Department responded to a “shot spotter” alert at the 800 block of Rosedale Arch, which is near the Richland Library on North Main Street and across the street from Believers in Christ Church, said Lt. Paul Blendowski.

When police arrived, they found a man, 51, who had been shot, and they transported him to the hospital. Officers detained Maxwell at the scene shortly after responding.

The victim is in stable condition, according to a release from Columbia Police Department.

Maxwell is being held at Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center, jail records show.

Police believe this was “an isolated incident with no ongoing threat to the community,” Blendowski said.
