Suspects in Springfield Walmart case wanted in California

Springfield police patchSPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — Police say three people suspected of shoplifting at a south Springfield Walmart are also suspects in a shooting in central California.

Two people, Billy Littlefield and Peyton Garncia, both of Los Banos, California, are jailed in Greene County after their arrests Tuesday night. A third suspect, Carl Littlefield — Billy’s brother — has eluded capture.

Police in Los Banos say the three are suspects in the shooting of a 35-year-old man in that city on November 26th. They face charges of attempted homicide, conspiracy, and felon in possession of a firearm.

Springfield police were chasing the three Tuesday at the Walmart when Carl Littlefield fired a shot at them. No one was injured but customers and employees were moved out of the store for several hours.
