Arthur Craig Lang III, 19, of Clear Lake, Iowa, died after an exchange of gunfire in Cedar Falls on the morning of February 6, 2022. Lang, born October 25, 2002, in Joliet, Illinois, had graduated from Mason City High School in June 2021, where he played basketball and football. Family members remembered him as a mentor to younger people who cared deeply for his family and was planning a future, including aspirations of becoming a nurse.

Shortly before 2:00 a.m., 911 callers reported gunfire near College Street and West 22nd Street in the College Hill area. Investigators reconstructed a confrontation between people in a black SUV and two men near the Lot G parking area. Court records reported Lang was in the SUV with Brandon Javon Mitchell and Daniel Martez Judon IV, and investigators believed Lang had been driving. A second pedestrian opened fire, and gunfire was exchanged; Lang was struck and later died at the hospital. Two other men were wounded, one seriously.

Police initially arrested Mitchell and Judon on weapons-related charges tied to the shootout. By June 2022, Judon had pleaded guilty to intimidation with a weapon and received a 10-year sentence; authorities had not publicly identified who fired the fatal shot at Lang.
