Two men have been charged in the shooting death of an Evangel student. Prosecutors charged Terry Robinson and Angelito Silva after Tyree Crenshaw was killed in late April at a home on North Jefferson in Springfield.
Court documents say Robinson and Silva both face charges for filing a false police report after they first told officers the shooting happened during a drive by.
But after more investigating, Robinson, who was also charged with second-degree involuntary manslaughter, told detectives he thought he was holding an empty gun when he fired a shot, striking Crenshaw.
Silva faces additional charges for tampering with evidence.
Detectives say Robinson told investigators he waited five minutes before calling 911.
He told investigators they hid the gun and made up the story so they would not get into trouble.
