Second suspect arrested in Sikeston bar shooting

SIKESTON, Mo. -- Police have arrested a second suspect in connection with a shooting early Saturday that injured four people at a Sikeston bar.

Ericonta Flenoid, 31, faces four counts of first-degree assault and armed criminal action in connection with the shooting at Cronies Bar, 1637 E. Malone Ave., according to a news release from the Sikeston Department of Public Safety.

Flenoid's brother, Antonio Flenoid, 32, was arrested Saturday morning at a Sikeston residence. He faces identical charges.

Both men are in custody, with bond for each set at $100,000 cash only, the release stated.

Officers believe an ongoing feud between Antonio Flenoid and one of the victims led to the shooting, according to an earlier news release from the department.

On Monday, the department reported police, acting on a tip, found Ericonta Flenoid walking away from an apartment in the 800 block of West Gladys Street.

Officers stopped Flenoid, found a handgun in his pants and discovered the serial numbers had been filed off the gun, the release stated.
