(KNZA)--Formal charges have been filed against an Elwood man in connection with a shooting earlier this month in Elwood.

18-year-old Liam Christian McCorkle has been charged in Doniphan County District Court with attempted second-degree murder and aggravated battery.

McCorkle was arrested October 2 after a man was shot in a garage in the 600 block of Libel Street.

When officers arrived on the scene, they found the victim, identified as Joey Ezell, suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. Ezell was transported to Mosaic Life Care in St. Joseph for treatment. He has since been released.

A preliminary hearing for McCorkle is scheduled for November 4.

He remains in the Doniphan County Jail, held on a $300,000 bond.
