Complaint: Dubuque teen allegedly shot at occupied car in Cedar Rapids at least 7 times

CEDAR RAPIDS — Police arrested a Dubuque teen over the weekend in connection with a shooting that occurred last month in northeast Cedar Rapids.

Timothy D. Christmas III, 18, faces charges of intimidation with a dangerous weapon, felon in possession of a firearm, use of a dangerous weapon in commission of a crime and persons ineligible to carry a dangerous weapon.

The criminal complaint does not specify whether anyone was injured.
