What drives young people to commit crimes in Columbia?

A common theme among many killings in Columbia is young people being involved as suspects. A juvenile has been suspected in 28% of the homicides in Columbia since 2022. But young people KOMU 8 News spoke to in a roundtable interview said headlines about youth violence don't tell the full story. KOMU 8 News sat down with Kayden Brandkamp, Keith Mosley IV, Addo Meiners and Tarandin Whitaker, whose ages range from 17 through 20, about the problems facing the community that drive young people to commit crimes. They're all in the Youth Build program at Job Point, where they're learning practical trade skills to get a job. But, all four of these people have witnessed violent crime. This story is part of a series of stories in which KOMU 8 News takes a closer look at youth violence in Columbia and in Missouri. Read and watch the first part of the series at the link below. The second part airs Tuesday, Feb. 17, on KOMU 8 News at 6 and 10. https://www.komu.com/news/acloserlook...
