Additional charges filed in Kirkwood Court incident

CEDAR RAPIDS - Three people charged in a robbery and shooting at Kirkwood Court Apartments two weeks ago are facing additional charges, according to trial information filed Friday.

In addition to attempted murder and other charges, Teran Huff, 25, of Des Moines, Raymond Sellers, 24, of Chicago, and Shantres Johnson, 21, of Cedar Rapids also are charged with conspiracy to commit a forcible felony and going armed with intent. Huff and Sellers also were charged with possession of a firearm as a felon.

Huff was charged earlier this week with two counts of attempted murder and two counts of willful injury causing serious injury.

Sellers and Johnson were each charged this week with first-degree robbery, two counts of attempted murder and two counts of willful injury causing serious injury.

All three are accused of attempting to kill Shannon Gaskins, 21, and Alexander White, 22, of 311 Kirkwood Ct. SW, #1, on April 20 during a robbery. Gaskins and White were both wounded during the incident.

According to a search warrant filed earlier this week, Gaskins had a gunshot wound to her chest and back area, and White had a gunshot wound to his abdomen. Police haven't released their conditions but confirmed the injuries were not life-threatening.

Gaskins told police two black male suspects came into her apartment and asked “where the weed was” and when she told them she didn't have any, they shot her and White, according to the search warrant.

Sellers also received a gunshot wound during the incident.

According to another search warrant filed Friday, Huff and another witness, Tirisha Johnson, admitted to police they were involved in the shooting and said the shooting was over money that apparently was in the apartment.

Huff told police he fired shots in the apartment and Tirisha Johnson admitted being inside the vehicle that left the scene after the shooting, according to the search warrant. Huff and Tirisha Johnson, who had been staying at the Best Western Coopers Mills motel for two weeks, left Cedar Rapids for Des Moines after the shooting but returned the next day, according to the warrant.

According to online court documents, Tirisha Johnson, 22, hasn't been charged in this case.

Evidence collected from Tirisha Johnson and Huff's motel room included scales and other drug paraphernalia, cellphones, a black leather coat, two pairs of shoes and one pair of boots, according to the warrant.

Huff, Sellers and Shantres Johnson remained in the Linn County Jail on Friday.
