Tyrell Lavell Grimes, 38, was shot and killed the night of August 19, 2022, outside Rico’s at Drake bar and grill in the 2400 block of University Avenue in Des Moines. An argument between Grimes and 44-year-old Andrew Jerome Harris escalated; Harris left the scene in a vehicle and returned about eight minutes later armed with a firearm. Harris confronted Grimes and shot him twice. Grimes was taken to a hospital and later died of his injuries.

Harris initially told police he had not been at the scene, but video evidence and witness testimony identified him as the suspect. He was arrested and charged with murder. The defense asserted Harris acted in self-defense, saying he believed Grimes posed a threat. What do readers who were in the Drake neighborhood that night remember about the confrontation or either man?
