The arrests are the result of a comprehensive investigation by Springfield Police, in collaboration with multiple law enforcement agencies.

The arrests stem from an incident on June 29, when police were called to multiple ShotSpotter alerts in the 0-100 block of Dunmoreland Street at around 5 p.m. Officers discovered two gunshot victims, with a third victim brought privately to Mercy Medical Center.
All three individuals received minor injuries. Additionally, the gunfire struck five vehicles and two homes.
The SPD Detective Bureau, led by Captain Trent Duda, launched an investigation that initially led to the arrest of one shooting suspect who was also a victim. On July 16, detectives arrested a second suspect, 29-year-old David Beadle, on Hancock Street.
Detectives subsequently secured arrest warrants for Anderson and Miller, leading to their arrests on Thursday. During Miller’s arrest, detectives recovered two high-capacity firearm magazines at his residence.
Kamou Anderson faces several charges, including:
Discharging a Firearm within 500 Feet of a Building
Assault & Battery with a Firearm
Two counts of Attempted Assault & Battery with a Firearm
Five counts of Malicious Damage to a Motor Vehicle
Two counts of Vandalize Property
