About 11:50 p.m. Nov. 1, 2016, Springfield officers and medics were dispatched to a home in the 100 block of South Race Street on a report of a man being shot.

Craigmiles allegedly entered the home without permission and pointed a gun at two witnesses, according to a police report. A man then came out of the bedroom and punched Craigmiles, who allegedly shot the man, Kenneth Adams in the chest, the report says.

As the man fell to the ground, the suspect allegedly stood over Adams and fired another shot, striking him in the left side of his head, according to the report.
