Overview
- Court records identify the suspect as 18-year-old Maxwell Warren of Overland Park, facing felony burglary and assault counts tied to incidents reported on campus.
- Documents allege Warren forced his way into a dorm on Sept. 26 and strangled a student after being blocked on Snapchat, then returned on Oct. 29 and choked the victim until they lost consciousness.
- Warren was arrested Nov. 4, arraigned soon after, and remains in the Boone County jail; a bond hearing is set for Nov. 10 following his motion for a bond reduction, with a preliminary hearing on Dec. 9.
- The University of Missouri says Warren is barred from campus, classes and activities pending the case, and that he would be subject to arrest if he attempts to return while released.
- His attorney says he has pleaded not guilty and maintains his innocence, while a separate probable cause statement describes an alleged assault near the Virginia Avenue Garage that police say video contradicts his account of.
