A shooting suspect finds himself in custody with bail set at $650,000 after being arrested Wednesday night in connection with a September 17 shooting that left one man injured in Springfield. The Springfield Police Department reported that TITANS Unit detectives apprehended 23-year-old convicted felon Adonis Ellis on outstanding warrants for his alleged involvement in the incident.
The confrontation that escalated to gunfire traces back to an earlier dispute between Ellis and the 43-year-old victim. Their paths crossed once more at the intersection of Buena Vista Pike and Kirk Avenue, where the shooting occurred. The victim was struck in the leg, necessitating emergency medical attention at Skyline Medical Center, the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department reported.
Ellis, who was convicted of robbery and sentenced to six years of supervised probation just last July, faces new charges including attempted homicide, reckless endangerment, possession of a weapon during the commission of a dangerous felony, and being a felon in possession of a weapon. This latest incident adds to Ellis's legal woes, suggesting a pattern of violent behavior that persists despite past convictions and supervision.
