The Sangamon County Sheriff’s Office is looking for info into an incident involving a man shooting a firearm into the air behind a Springfield business.

The incident took place on December 13 at 5:45 p.m. at the Qik N Ez at 1101 Stevenson Dr.

A man walked into the business bought something at the register and then left. As the person left the store, deputies said surveillance video shows him point a gun in the air and fire one round into the air before putting it back in his pocket.

Anyone who recognizes the man in the pictures is asked to call the Sangamon County Sheriff’s Office Investigations Division at (217) 753-6840.
