Cape man wanted in Carbondale shooting turns self in

The Jackson County, Illinois, state’s attorney’s office reports John F. Ingram, 21, of Cape Girardeau turned himself in to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department on Thursday night.

Ingram is charged with felony aggravated battery with a firearm and aggravated discharge of a firearm stemming from a shooting in the early morning hours of March 27 in Carbondale, Illinois. Police were investigating a shooting at a party in the 400 block of West Walnut Street in Carbondale and found Nehemiah Greenlee with a gunshot wound that was not life-threatening. Greenlee was taken to Carbondale and St. Louis hospitals for treatment.

Later in the investigation, police found the body of Tim Beaty, 41, of Carbondale, who was struck and killed by a stray bullet. Beaty was inside his house at the time.

State’s Attorney Michael Carr charged four men in Greenlee’s shooting, but there have not been any charges relating to Beaty’s death. The state’s attorney filed an arrest warrant and charges Friday of aggravated discharge of a firearm and reckless discharge of a firearm against Daniel D. Holmes, 21, of Carbondale.

Holmes also is charged with aggravated battery with a firearm from a shooting Tuesday at Evolve Apartment Complex in the 700 block of South Illinois Avenue in Carbondale. A 19-year-old Florissant, Missouri, man was shot once in the lower back, but police reported it was not life-threatening, the Southern Illinoisan newspaper reported. Holmes was still at large, Carbondale police stated in a news release Friday.

Ingram, originally from Webster Groves, Missouri, was one of three Southeast Missouri State University students from the St. Louis area wanted in connection to the shooting. During the initial stages of the investigation, Dwayne J. Dunn, 21, of St. Louis was arrested. Dunn has been charged with reckless discharge of a firearm and is in custody in Jackson County Jail.
