Man shot in the face in Morgan County


MORGAN COUNTY – Law enforcement are still looking (as of press time) for a man who allegedly shot another man in the face.

According to the Morgan County Sheriff’s Department (MCSD), on December 28 at approximately 6:00 a.m., deputies were dispatched to a residence on Bear Claw Road off of Ivy Bend Road in regards to a male subject who had been shot.

When deputies arrived on the scene, a male subject was located with a gunshot wound to the face. He was transported to a Jefferson City hospital in stable condition and was able to identify the shooter, the MCSD said.

Revious L Hamilton Jr., 50, was identified by the victim as the shooter.

The MCSD described how the incident unfolded:

Hamilton lives across the street from the victim and apparently started verbally assaulting the victim and then fired several rounds from a handgun at the victim.  Hamilton was last seen leaving the scene of the shooting on foot armed with the handgun.

Deputies conducted a ground search utilizing a K9 and searched several unoccupied structures in the area and were unable to locate the suspect.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol Aircraft Division assisted with a search from the air which also yielded no results. Deputies continue to follow up in the area attempting to locate Hamilton.

Hamilton is considered armed and dangerous.

Morgan County Prosecutors Office has filed the following charges;

• Assault - 1st Degree Or Attempt
• Armed Criminal Action
• Unlawful Use of Weapon
• Unlawful Possession of A Firearm

No Bond allowed.
