DAVENPORT, Iowa — Five people face charges after a "riot" in a Davenport grocery store parking lot that involved at least 14 people and included gunfire and a 110 mph vehicle chase, according to arrest records.
The complaints state Davenport police were dispatched around 1:07 a.m. Monday, Sept. 15, to Hilltop Groceries & Spirits at 1312 Harrison St., for a reported disturbance. Investigators said they later learned the altercation was a planned fight.
During the incident, several people were assaulted, one person was knocked unconscious and two people discharged a firearm, the complaints say. Davenport police said no one suffered gunshot injuries.
Witnesses pointed to a maroon Ford Escape as carrying a woman who fired a gun in the parking lot, according to the complaints. Officers said the driver fled, reaching speeds of more than 110 mph in a 35 mph zone and at one point traveling the wrong way on Locust Street.
25-year-old Danika Howard is accused of firing the gun and leading the chase. She was arrested and is charged with felony rioting and several misdemeanors, including reckless driving, reckless use of a firearm, person ineligible to carry a weapon, eluding at speeds over 25 mph and driving the wrong way.
Also arrested and charged with felony rioting are Diamond Howard, 31, Tyrae Caswell, 24, and Jerry Hayes Jr., 52, the complaints say. Demarco Mosley, 26, faces the same felony rioting charge and an additional misdemeanor count of person ineligible to carry a weapon.
So clearly white supremacists at fault here, right?
Must be. No Amish wagon is gonna do 110 mph.
Iowa...the land previously known for corn and pigs.
Danika, Diamond, Tyrae, Jerry, and Demarco just be havin’ some fun.
Just about to turn their lives around and be rap artists
I remember in the early ‘80’s, reading about the lack of black people Iowa, and a concerted effort to get more to move there. Looks like they didn’t send their best.
Does this mean that eluding police at 24 mph is allowed?
It’s them again, Yogi.
The headline talks about a grocery store in Iowa, but I'm going to guess that the people involved were in the Sprits section of the building at the time of the incident.
And no addresses shown, just names, so it's possible these people were from the Illinois portion of the Quad Cities. They act like Pritzker voters.
I suspect the DA will allow that to be pled down to misdemeanor rioting.
No, it means eluding at >24mph is an aggravating factor, a more serious crime. But you probably already knew that ...
Is it them again, Jimmy Kimmel? Those darn MAGA kids.
Dang it, I never get invited to the good parties.
We have outlying communities in the D/FW area that have resisted allowing public transportation from the urban centers for just this reason. Whenever you get a bus line to an area, that is the death knell for that area as far as peace and safety. It goes down VERY quickly.
As Chris Rock said, there are two kinds of malls:
- The malls the white people go to
- The malls the white people used to go to
Chris Rock is one of my favorite 21st Century philosophers.
He has said some very insightful things that have stuck with me.
and two people discharged a firearm,
no one suffered gunshot injuries
We just be busting some caps yo.
