NARRATIVE
2025008009IOWA CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT 11:38 AM8/25/2025 21
On the above date and time police responded to a shooting in the parking lot of 618 E. Court St. Police arrived on scene and found the victim with a gunshot
wound to the stomach. The victim was taken to the hospital for emergency surgery. 3 other victims later arrived at area hospitals with gunshot wounds from this
incident.
Witnesses on scene identified the defendant and his co-defendant friend as being in an argument with the victim who was shot in the stomach. The argument
involves an ongoing dispute the defendant and co-defendant have with the victim's juvenile son. The defendant and co-defendant were involved in assaulting
and stabbing the victim's son twice last year. The victim was both defendants target due to the ongoing dispute they have with her son.
The victim personally knows the defendant. The victim identified the defendant as having a gun during this incident and pointing it at her. The victim believes
both the defendant and co-defendant fired shots at her. The victim reported hearing one of the defendants say "We gunna blow this bitch" right before shots
were fired.
During interview with police the defendant admitted he was in possession of a firearm during this incident, but denied firing it. The defendant said as he fled the
scene he handed the firearm to his brother who concealed it. Police stopped the defendant and his brother fleeing the scene of the shooting. The defendant's
brother was found in possession of a Taurus G2s 9mm pistol. When seized by police the pistol was loaded and appeared to have suffered a jam and
malfunction. The defendant confirmed this was the firearm he was in possession of when the shooting occurred.
Witnesses, surveillance video, and cell phone data put the defendant and co-defendant together prior to the shooting and put them on scene at the time of the
shooting. The defendant and co-defendant were both armed with handguns and acted jointly in the commission of this crime.
