Daniel Peter Lovett, 36, was found dead from a gunshot wound in a Des Moines yard on the evening of Sunday, January 22, 2023. Police quickly classified the death as a homicide and opened an intensive investigation. A few days later authorities identified a person of interest and issued a material witness warrant for 30-year-old Gustavo Morales, saying he might have valuable information about the shooting.

Lovett, known as Danny, was a gifted artist who loved animals and spent much of his life exploring spiritual beliefs. His obituary noted he struggled with drug addiction and left behind a son, as well as his parents and siblings. Despite the public request for information and the naming of Morales, there have been no public updates about his whereabouts, no arrests, and no suspects officially named; the case remains unsolved.

Does anyone who knew Daniel or who has information about Gustavo Morales’ possible whereabouts or involvement have details to share with investigators?
