The Sangamon County Sheriff’s Office rounded up a few alleged street gang members Tuesday after a vehicle-to-vehicle shooting incident on Tozer Road.
Witnesses in the three thousand block of Winch Road said the occupants of a white four-door shot at another moving vehicle.
A few hours later, deputies and detectives made a traffic stop on the suspected vehicle on West Jefferson, arresting 19-year-old Michael A. Smith, 18-year-old Rovale D. Reese, and 18-year-old Dexter D. Hughes, charging them with reckless discharge of a firearm and unlawful use of a weapon.
Authorities say the incident is believed to be in connection to an on-going dispute between two rival Springfield street gangs.
