BUTTE — Colby Allen Clark of Billings has been charged with attempted deliberate homicide and other charges in connection with a shooting in Butte on Thursday.
Clark, 21 years old, is accused of shooting a 26-year-old Butte man three times near the skate park at McGruff Park at about 5:15 p.m.
The victim, whose name has not been released, is being treated at St. James Healthcare in Butte and is expected to survive.
Police found Clark driving on Arizona Street and a chase ensued before Clark crashed his truck near Second Street and ran from police. He was captured in a yard in the 1000 block of Wyoming Street.
Clark is also a suspect in a Sunday night shooting that killed 50-year-old Micah Aaron Myron in Billings, according to Billings police.
Prosecutors in Yellowstone County are planning to file concurrent charges against Clark for the Billings homicide, police said Friday in a news release.
In November 2016, Clark was charged with several felonies and misdemeanors after he allegedly stole three vehicles and led police on a chase in Great Falls.
According to the Montana Department of Corrections, Clark has convictions in Cascade County for theft and criminal endangerment, and a conviction for escape in Powell County.
