Douglas Clay Meier, a 28-year-old White man, was killed in a shooting just after 3 a.m. on Sunday, June 8, 2025, in the 1700 block of Gaines Street in Davenport, Iowa. Calls reporting gunfire brought police and medics, and Meier was found with apparent gunshot wounds, taken to a local hospital, and pronounced dead.

Investigators arrested two people within days. On the evening of June 8, 18-year-old Alyx R. Hinton of Minnesota was taken into custody and charged with first-degree murder, two counts of attempted murder, two counts of intimidation with a dangerous weapon, and going armed with intent; arrest records allege Hinton fired at two other people at the scene. On the following Tuesday, 21-year-old Tashon J. Bea of Davenport was arrested in Rock Island and charged with first-degree murder, intimidation with a dangerous weapon, and going armed with intent. Authorities say the incident does not appear random and the investigation is ongoing.

Neighbors said they were shocked; some noted the occupants of the home where the shooting occurred had only recently moved in. Does anyone who knew Douglas or was near Gaines Street that morning have information that could help the investigation?
