North Liberty man arrested in connection with April shooting in Iowa City

IOWA CITY — A North Liberty man faces multiple charges in connection with a shots- fired incident in early April in Iowa City.

According to the Iowa City Police Department, Dupree Savon Thompson, 23, faces charges of intimidation with a dangerous weapon, carrying weapons and reckless use of a firearm.

The charges stem from a shooting April 4 in the 100 block of South Clinton Street.

Police said officers were called just after 2 a.m. to the area, where they found a shell casing.

Based on witness accounts, police said it was determined a man — later identified as Thompson — fired a handgun after a large fight broke out in a nearby alley. Police did not report any injuries.

The man fled the scene in a vehicle before police arrived.

Police said Thompson was arrested in Black Hawk County, where he is being held on unrelated charges.
