Charges have been filed in a fatal shooting in downtown Springfield.

The Greene County prosecutor say 22-year-old Caden Burks is charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of 48-year-old Anthony Chambers.

Investigators say the incident occurred at the intersection of South Avenue and Walnut Street.

Witnesses reported that Burks drew a gun and shot Chambers multiple times as he reached into his pockets.

Burks fled east on Walnut Street but was stopped by a bystander.

Burks is being held in the Greene County Jail without bond.
