Police are investigating the shooting of a juvenile that happened Tuesday evening in Springfield's Grant Beach neighborhood.

At about 6 p.m., officers responded to an area near Grant Beach Park and found a 15-year-old with a gunshot wound, according to the Springfield Police Department.

Investigators believe that the incident began on a basketball court at the park where two juveniles got into a fistfight that escalated into one being shot. The name of the victim has not been released and police have not said if any others were injured in the altercation.

The injured 15-year-old was found at a nearby residence and was then taken to a hospital where the teen is in stable condition, according to police.

Springfield Police Department has not arrested anyone in connection with this incident but has interviewed several witnesses.

A spokesperson for Springfield PD said, “all involved are mostly likely juveniles and known to each other.”

Police are continuing to investigate this incident and ask that anyone with information call the Springfield Police Department at (417) 864-1810, or place an anonymous tip at 417-869-TIPS.

Court filings: Maduro ally met with US prior to arrest
A businessman accused of siphoning off millions in state contracts from Venezuela met secretly with U.S. law enforcement to provide intelligence against Nicolás Maduro’s government prior to being charged in 2019 with money laundering, according to new filings in a related case against a disgraced University of Miami professor. Bruce Bagley, who prior to his arrest in 2019 had been a top expert on organized crime in Latin America, is set to be sentenced next week in Manhattan federal court on two counts of money laundering tied to nearly $3 million in payments he received from the businessman, Alex Saab. In a request for leniency, Bagley's attorney argued that his client was told that the payments, the bulk of which he forwarded to an unnamed intermediary's bank account, were to conceal payments to attorneys in the U.S. who accompanied Saab to meetings in which he allegedly provided law enforcement officials intelligence on Venezuela's government.
