Two More Suspects Arrested In Greenview Assault Case

Two more suspects wanted in connection to an August 7^th assault in the Greenview area are in custody after turning themselves in to the Camden County Sheriff’s Office.

22-year-olds John Brennan Richardson of Springfield and Jonathan Cosme Ortiz-Gopar of Montreal are charged with first-degree felony assault and are being held without bond.

Sergeant Scott Hines says a request for information on the suspects published by KRMS News and other media outlets likely played a major role in Richardson and Ortiz-Gopar turning themselves in.

This makes four suspects in custody for the assault following the recent arrests of Aaron Gonzalez and Ramiro Aguilar-Garcia.

The investigation continues and the sheriff’s office says more arrests can be expected in connection to the case.
