Cedrick D. Hood, 26, was shot and killed on the evening of December 3, 2020, outside the Hop-N-Shop convenience store at 716 South Fourth Street in Clinton, Iowa. Surveillance footage reviewed in the criminal case shows a man later identified as Carlton Douglas Jr. approach Hood’s driver-side window and fire six shots. Hood was struck multiple times, given emergency medical care by Clinton Fire personnel, and taken to MercyOne Hospital, where he died.

A woman who had been in Hood’s vehicle told investigators she heard the shots while at the ATM and then saw someone known as C get into a four-door vehicle that left the lot with another car. Investigators learned both men had been involved with the same woman; prosecutors say an escalating personal dispute, including prior shots fired at Douglas’s vehicle and threatening texts, provided a motive. Douglas was arrested January 3, 2021, charged with first-degree murder and being a felon in possession of a firearm, and a jury later convicted him.

Does anyone have information about the shooting, the people involved, or the events at the Hop-N-Shop that evening?
