IA: Des Moines - Fleeing Scene of Car Accident Leads to Fatal Defensive Shooting

Just after 8:15 p.m. Saturday night, a hit-and-run crash occurred at 2nd Avenue and Hull Avenue, and the driver at-fault fled the scene on foot. Two members from the other vehicle searched for the fleeing driver, the police said.

The searchers found the fleeing driver accompanied by a 30-year-old male who had a baseball bat around 9 p.m. near Ohio Street and University Avenue. One of the searchers, a 21-year-old male, allegedly shot the 30-year-old out of fear once he raised the bat. The victim was taken to a nearby hospital where he later died from his injuries, police said.
