Authorities have charged two men in connection with the deadly shooting outside the Chill Vibez Lounge in Davenport, Iowa, an incident that left two people dead and another injured early Friday morning.
According to the Davenport Police Department, officers responded to reports of gunfire around 1:45 a.m. in the parking lot of the business located at 114 Myrtle Street. When officers arrived, they located a man suffering from a gunshot wound. He was transported to a nearby hospital, where he later passed away.
A second victim was taken from the scene to a hospital by private vehicle but also died from his injuries. One of the individuals killed has been identified as Dane Howard. A third man sustained a non-life-threatening injury and received medical care.
Investigators say the shooting appears to have stemmed from an altercation that escalated into violence, rather than a random attack.
Following the investigation, police announced charges against Raymond Robinson and Danny Howard, who are now facing counts related to the deaths of the two victims.
Detectives continue reviewing evidence and speaking with witnesses as the case moves forward. Authorities are asking anyone with information to contact the Davenport Police Department at 563-326-6125 or submit an anonymous tip through QC Crime Stoppers.
Additional details, including the identities of the second deceased victim, will be released once family notifications are complete.
