Mo. man charged in 2012 apartment party killing

courtSPRINGFIELD (AP) – A Springfield man has been charged with murder in a fatal shooting from more than two years ago.

The Greene County Prosecuting Attorney’s office on Tuesday charged 31-year-old Carlos Tureaud with second-degree murder. Authorities say he killed Marcus Wells during a party at a Springfield apartment complex in September 2012.

They say witnesses were reluctant to talk to police for years because they were afraid of Tureaud. A witness in April told police Tureaud was responsible and expressed guilt about not being truthful previously.

Tureaud is being held without bond. It wasn’t immediately clear if he has an attorney.
