According to a February 17th press release, officers responded at approximately 10:39 a.m. to a report of shots fired in the 1400 block of South Street. While officers were en route, dispatch advised that the suspect, later identified as Kamron Elmore, had left the area in a minivan.
A short time later, officers located the vehicle near the intersection of Central Avenue and Market Street. A search of the vehicle resulted in the recovery of a firearm.
Elmore was taken into custody without incident and transported to the Des Moines County Jail.
