Rebound Shooting Suspect Arrested

Carbondale Police Department

Carbondale Police say they've arrested a suspect wanted in connection to last month's shooting near the Rebound alternative school.

Officers say Omari Tinsley was arrested Thursday, and is being held in the Jackson County Jail.

Investigators say Tinsley was involved in the shooting back on January 27, which sent one man to the hospital. The shooting was reportedly a part of a fight near the parking lot of Rebound, on North Oakland Street in Carbondale.
 

Tinsley faces charges of aggravated battery with a firearm, attempted murder and aggravated discharge of a firearm.
