SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) - A 24-year-old man has been charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of a Springfield man.

The Springfield News-Leader reports that Nicholas Barnes of Lebanon was arrested Thursday in connection with the death of 39-year-old Shad Brown. Brown was killed Tuesday at his home.

Police said the suspect fled in a U-Haul truck. The truck was found Wednesday at a motel in Lebanon.

Barnes is jailed without bond and does not yet have a listed attorney.
