Police shooting

Two years after Clesslyn Crawford was shot by a sniper, her case has gained attention from true-crime podcasts and prompted outcry in Joplin, where residents want the shooter's name released to the public.

The shooting took place early Thursday afternoon in eastern Independence. One suspect is in custody.

Larry Acree faces two counts of first-degree murder as well as other charges including first-degree assault.
