Two men are facing charges as alleged accomplices in a fatal Gary gas station shooting, records show.
Charles Spires Jr., 20, and Devon Wilson, both of Gary, are each charged with assisting a criminal and obstruction of justice.
Spires is also charged with felony unlawful possession of a firearm by a dangerous person and three misdemeanors, while Wilson is also charged with two misdemeanors.
Both are in custody.
Two others are implicated in court documents, but the charges remain under seal.
Police responded Monday to a gas station on the 4500 block of Broadway Avenue in Gary for a call about multiple people shot, records show.
The victim, Leandre Holley, 19, of East Chicago, was found dead inside the station, shot multiple times, charges state. His death was ruled a homicide.
Gas station footage appears to show that after Holley went back inside the gas station another time, two alleged shooters followed him.
“Chill, chill,” he appeared to say after a man, named as “Shooter #1,” pointed a gun at him.
Shooter #1 appeared to chase Holley before they opened fire at each other, charges state, with guns rigged to fire automatically. A second man, named as Shooter #2, appears to also fire toward Holley and “possibly” shoot Shooter #1 in the process, records show.
Shooter #2 also actively shot an unarmed bystander who appeared to be trying to flee from the gunfire, charges allege. He survived.
The shooting was over in 15-20 seconds, records state. Shooter #1 also ended up wounded “in the leg area,” police wrote. Wilson said he was shot in the arm, charges show.
Wilson told police he drove the others to the gas station to buy “tobacco products.”
A passenger in a silver SUV outside appeared to shoot “toward the entryway” after shots started inside. In response, Spires opened fire toward the vehicle, the affidavit alleges.
According to video surveillance, more shots appeared to be fired between Shooter #1, Shooter #2 and the person in the silver SUV before it left the station, records state.
Spires, Wilson and Shooter #1 “regroup” briefly in the woods behind the gas station to flee before police arrive, the affidavit states. Shooter #2 appeared to have run on foot from the station, the affidavit states.
Spires declined to speak at length with police, records show.
