All three indicted subjects, along with Clifton James Cummings, 35, planned the robbery of Spencer Sharp, who lived in the house, according to Springfield Police.

During the robbery, an exchange of gunfire occurred, killing both Cummings and later, Sharp.
Police found the two men on the porch of a house with gunshot wounds. Cummings was pronounced dead on the scene with a gunshot wound to the head. Sharp, 30, was transported to the hospital, where he died.
According to a press release from the police department, police arrested Haynes on Thursday, and Keaton was arrested in Alabama with the help of U.S. Marshals. His extradition from the Jefferson County Jail in Alabama is pending.
Police said previously that Sharp was the owner of the home and that there was a toddler inside who was unharmed. The house is on the east side of Springfield, off North Belmont Avenue, a few blocks from Lagonda.
Video surveillance from the house showed Coley enter with Cummings, who was wearing a ski mask and holding a handgun, according to the police affidavit.
According to the affidavit, Coley was on parole and wearing an ankle monitor, with GPS records indicating his presence at the home during the robbery. Coley allegedly told police once arrested that he went to the home to buy marijuana but did not know there would be a robbery.
