William Dawson Sr., 40, was shot dead around 1 a.m. outside Johnny Mac’s Bar and Grill in Des Moines in the early hours of a Saturday in August 2016. He suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the head. His son, William Dawson Jr., and his son’s girlfriend, Carley Toomey, were also shot and injured and taken to a nearby hospital; they were expected to survive.

Dawson was described as a family man who worked laying asphalt, coached youth baseball for the Eastside Sox, and enjoyed the Denver Broncos and NASCAR. His death was the eighth homicide in Des Moines that year. A suspect was arrested and later charged in connection with the shooting.

Does anyone have information about that night or memories of Bill that could help document what happened?
