The Jasper County Prosecuting Attorney's office filed assault (two counts) and armed criminal action charges Friday against a Joplin man who allegedly shot another man in the chest and punched a woman in the face.
An arrest warrant was issued for Deandre Anthony Martin (DOB 2000) with no bond.
From the probable cause statement:
On August 18, 2024, at approximately 02:03 hours, the Joplin Police Department was dispatched to a residence in Joplin, Missouri, Jasper County, for a reported shooting.Upon officers’ arrival, they located Victim 1 with a gunshot wound to his chest. Victim 1 was transported to a local hospital where he was treated for serious physical injuries.
Victim 2 reported that she was at the residence for a party, when she was punched in the face by Deandre Martin, causing physical injury.
According to Victim 2 and Witness 1, Victim 1 stepped in to defend Victim 2 from further assault by Martin. Martin then shot Victim 1 in the chest with a black semi-automatic handgun.
Don't let this violent criminal back on the streets, Deandre Anthony Martin, should be charged with attempted murder and assault and be locked up for life. Stop being soft on criminals!
