Kirksville murder suspect transferred to Cass County jail

A Kirksville murder suspect has now been transferred from the Cass County jail to the Missouri Department of Corrections (DOC). KTVO TV is reporting Anquan “AJ” Glover, 22, of Kirksville, was transferred last Thursday, Jan. 13, 2022, from the Cass County jail to the DOC’s Fulton Reception & Diagnostic Center in Fulton, Mo., because he violated parole in a 2018 Boone County case. In that case, he pleaded guilty to first-degree tampering with a motor vehicle and resisting arrest and was sentenced to five years in prison. At some point, he was paroled. Glover will likely be held in state prison until time for his Adair County murder trial. Both Glover and another Kirksville man, Ray Rijos, 52, are charged with the same 14 crimes in Adair County, including two counts of first-degree murder, for a late-December 2021 mass shooting in Kirksville. Two people were killed, and two others were injured. In addition to the two first-degree murder charges, both men also face two counts of first-degree attempted murder, two counts of first-degree assault, seven counts of armed criminal action and one charge of abuse or neglect of a child.
