CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (AP) - An Illinois man has been charged in connection with a shooting that injured two people at a concert in Cape Girardeau.
The Southeast Missourian reports (https://bit.ly/1eiLknr ) 22-year-old Deontae L. Petty of Bellwood, Ill., was charged Wednesday with first-degree assault and armed criminal action after the shooting Saturday at the Arena.
A probable cause statement from Cape Girardeau police says witnesses identified Petty as the man who was escorted out of the building by security but returned shortly afterward and fired into the crowd attending the Rich Homie Quan concert.
A 29-year-old man was shot in the chest and a 20-year-old man told police he was shot in the leg. It was unclear how serious their injuries were.
Online court records don’t list a lawyer for Petty.
