SPRINGFIELD, MO. – A jury trial is set for Nov. 12 for a man charged with unlawful possession of a firearm and armed criminal action after he was shot by another man outside a north Springfield store in December.
Airreonte Dayion Turner pleaded not guilty and on Thursday a judge set the trial date and scheduled a pretrial conference for Nov. 5, 2024.
Police said at the time of the shooting that Turner and another man were arguing inside Wicked Superstore on East Kearney just after midnight on Dec. 14, 2024. The argument continued outside when a handgun was displayed and gunshots were exchanged between the two.
Turner was struck twice and transported to Cox North Hospital, according to the probable cause report. The car was followed to the hospital by Greene County deputies who observed Turner with gunshot wounds to his shoulder and thigh.
In an interview with police, Turner admitted that he had a firearm during the incident and pointed it an individual inside the store. Court documents say he later admitted to firing rounds from the gun toward an individual in the parking lot.
Court documents indicate police believe Turner was the main aggressor during the encounter — with surveillance video showing him pressing his gun up against the other man’s head while they were inside the store.
Turner is a convicted felon who is restricted from owning and/or possessing firearms after being convicted of second-degree assault, armed criminal action and second-degree burglary in March 2021.
