Augustin Kouh was 20 when he was found shot to death on a Des Moines sidewalk on the evening of February 7, 2017. The shooting occurred in the 800 block of Shawnee Avenue and investigators described the incident as drug-related. An 18-year-old, Nelson Atary, was also shot in the same incident but survived after driving himself for medical help.

A 17-year-old, named Dequavius Robinson, was arrested and initially charged with first-degree murder, first-degree robbery, and attempted murder for the attack. Robinson, who was 16 at the time of arrest, did not go to a murder trial; he entered an Alford plea to voluntary manslaughter and two counts of first-degree robbery. He was sentenced to a term of up to 60 years in prison for his role in Kouh’s death.

If anyone knew Augustin Kouh or has information about the events that night, please come forward.
