Springfield Police say a person of interest in last weekend’s murder outside a Springfield bar is in custody on unrelated charges.
Assistant police chief Cliff Buscher says investigators are working to get more information to the States Attorney’s office for possible charges in the case.
Early last Saturday morning, police responded to a shooting outside the Sand Trap Bar on 15th and Melrose where 22-year-old Landis Bates was found shot.
Buscher says besides Bates’ case, so far this year the 5 shooting incidents with 6 victims have all been solved.
