(KAIR)--A 19-year-old Leavenworth man, facing attempted murder charges in connection with an Atchison shooting, has been located. “The investigating continues, however, we're very pleased that we have this violent offender in custody,” Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson told MSC News Tuesday evening.
A warrant was issued for the arrest of Marcell Bailey following the September 5 shooting of a car in the 1000 block of Atchison's North 7th Street.
Although the vehicle was shot, none of the five occupants, three males and two females, ranging in age from 17 to 22, were injured.
Wilson told MSC News Bailey was taken into custody on the Atchison County District Court Warrant early Tuesday evening in Topeka. “In the last several weeks, we began working with the U.S. Marshal's Office,” Wilson said. “In recent days, it's been determined, or suspected, that he was in Topeka, and shortly after 5:00, the Marshall's Office did take him into custody in Topeka. We knew that it was getting close, we had detectives in Topeka with the Marshall's Office, and once he was taken into custody, he was released to our detectives.”
Bailey faces charges for attempted 2nd degree murder, aggravated battery, aggravated assault, criminal discharge of a firearm into an occupied vehicle, and criminal possession of a weapon by a convicted felon.
Wilson said investigators believe a total of eight shots were fired by Bailey on the afternoon of September 5, with the vehicle struck at least 5 times.
