Suspect charged for shooting on North Kansas Expressway
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — A 19-year-old has been arrested and charged in connection with Monday's shooting on North Kansas Expressway.
According to online court records, Rominn Wagoner has been charged with first-degree assault, unlawful use of a weapon and two counts of armed criminal action.
A probable cause statement from the Springfield Police Department says officers were called to a strip mall on North Kansas Expressway at around 1:30 p.m. on Monday, March 3 for reports of shots fired.
Officers spoke to the victim, who told SPD he had been in a disturbance with two suspects in the parking lot of a nearby Walmart. Documents say officers observed a gunshot wound to the victim's back left torso and several bullet holes in his vehicle, a gray Audi.
Surveillance video from the Walmart store captured two males getting out of a white car as the victim pulled into the parking space directly behind them. According to documents, the victim and the occupants of the white car appeared to be in an argument.
Documents say the passenger of the white car, later identified as Wagoner, is seen on video pulling a handgun and firing multiple times at the victim's vehicle as it sped off. Wagoner also fled the area on foot.
When police later found the suspects' white Nissan, documents say it was parked outside an unidentified apartment complex. Additional surveillance footage from the complex showed the car pulling in at around 1:39 p.m. and parking. Wagoner is seen getting out of the back seat, according to documents, then disappears from camera view with the juvenile suspect who was driving the vehicle at the time of the shooting.
When Wagoner comes back into view of the surveillance camera, documents say he was wearing different clothes than those he was wearing during the incident.
Police later arrested Wagoner and spoke with him at the Greene County Jail. According to documents, Wagoner told police the juvenile suspect had driven them to the Walmart parking lot when the victim stopped behind them and started threatening the juvenile. Wagoner also admitted to being armed with a handgun and shooting at the victim because he continued threatening them. Court documents note that SPD had seen Wagoner on surveillance video chasing after the victim's vehicle as it sped away.
Documents say Wagoner admitted to changing his clothes and also told SPD the juvenile had picked him up in a neighborhood east of where the incident occurred before driving to the apartment complex.
Wagoner is currently being held in the Greene County Jail without bond.
Bill Prince, Chief Juvenile Officer, says the juvenile suspect is currently being held pending a detention hearing that is expected to happen by the end of the week.
