KQ2-TV is reporting that the Buchanan County Prosecutor has charged Charles Coats, Jr., with second-degree murder in connection with the shooting death of Jason Ginn.
Police are searching for the suspect who remains at large.
The 32-year-old was shot late Saturday afternoon on South 15th Street near Sylvanie.
