Albany police investigate Wednesday evening aggravated assault case

ALBANY — The Albany Police Department is investigating an aggravated assault incident that was reported Wednesday evening.

The APD responded to 933 Randolph St. at 7:10 p.m., and contact was made with a woman, Kimberly Mallory, who claimed that her son, Joshua Mallory, and her niece’s boyfriend, Quintavious Rivers, got into a verbal altercation, leading to the boyfriend pointing a gun at her son, an APD incident report said.

The report said Kimberly Mallory indicated when she learned a gun had been pulled on her son, she went outside where her niece, the boyfriend and her son were. When she heard her son being threatened in front of his child, she said she responded by going into her truck to grab her gun and threatening to shoot Rivers.

Rivers was told to leave, but he fired his weapon in the air as he walked off, the report said.

The report also states that Joshua Mallory reported Rivers brushed past him inappropriately as he was walking into the residence. When Joshua Mallory asked, “What was he doing?” the gun was pulled on him, according to the report. Rivers put the gun back in his pocket, and the younger Mallory went into his mother’s bedroom to find her gun.

Arguing continued before Rivers walked away and shot his gun in an area where children were playing nearby and ran toward the rear of Willow Wood Apartments, the son said.

No injuries were reported as a result of the incident, and the shell casing was not recovered, the report said.

There were no arrests made by Thursday afternoon, according to an APD spokesperson.
