Springfield Police say two people have been arrested, about ten days after a man was found dead inside his northeast side apartment.

Officers arrested 23-year-old Moises Trujillo and 19-year-old Caston Rosa Monday, and both are being charged with Armed Robbery and First Degree Murder.

Police were called to the 2100 block of Watch Avenue March 17th where they found 21-year-old Dezmeion Pooleman dead inside his apartment.

The coroner says Pooleman died from multiple gunshot wounds.

WANTED: Antonio Ragsdale

Trujillo and Rosa remain jailed.  Meantime, police say 25-year-old Antonio Ragsdale remains wanted on similar charges. He’s a black male; five feet, five inches tall; and 140 pounds. If you see the man considered armed and dangerous, you’re urged to not approach him, and instead call police or Sangamon and Menard County Crimestoppers.
