After more than two months of investigating, prosecutors have filed charges against a suspect in a shooting incident that took place near the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club in Springfield.

Court documents say the shooting occurred on April 27 at the club on West Avenue. Police were called to the scene after witnesses heard multiple gunshots.

When they arrived, they found a victim suffering from gunshot wounds to the groin and stomach. Witnesses later told police they saw a Chevy Camaro fleeing the scene shortly after the shots were fired.

The extensive investigation yielded results this week, as prosecutors filed charges against Ely Oakley for assault and armed criminal action.

According to prosecutors, Oakley has a long history of violent crime.

During a traffic stop on Highway 54 near Cassidy Road Monday night, a woman gave a fake name to a Cole County Deputy.

Mindy Williams gave a false name that had warrants assigned to it while being pulled over. Williams decided to run from her car but was caught with the help of the department K-9.

Mindy Williams had warrants of her own.

Police have arrested two people in Lake Ozark for firing shots at the Bagnell Dam Strip.

Reports say the two suspects were at a local establishment in the Lake Ozark area Monday night when they were asked to leave. That’s when witnesses say the two pulled out guns and started firing shots into the air as they left.

After investigating, Camden County deputies tracked the suspects to an apartment on Horseshoe Bend Road. A search of the apartment ended with arrests after police found a 9mm handgun believed to have been used in the shooting.
