Posey was transported to Springfield Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
Clark County dispatchers got a 911 call from Tanturri, who said he was just in a gunfight, according to court records.
Tanturri said he saw “he saw [redacted] with a firearm, and he believed [redacted] was robbing two other people in the parking lot.”
He then told dispatchers, “he shot at Mr. [redacted] because he was scared and felt trapped with where he was standing because [redacted] had a firearm.”
Tanturri was arrested and brought in for questioning.
During an interview, Tanturri told police he was completing a DoorDash delivery at a neighboring apartment before the shooting.
Court records state that footage showed Tanturri “shot first and one camera angle shows both [redacted] and Charles. [redacted] is standing with the two other individuals with both hands down at his side. His firearm was not pointed at anyone and appeared, based on his movement, was possibly in his hand.”
A witness told officers that no one was in danger or needed protection, but rather described Tanturri “to be the primary aggressor in the situation.”
Tanturri is being held on a $500,000 bond.
Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to contact the Springfield Police Division at (937) 324-7685.
