Kevin Ray Arbo Arbogast, a 45-year-old White male from Centerville, Iowa, died on Sunday, November 21, 2021, after an encounter with law enforcement in a rural residential neighborhood in the 21,000 block of 560th Street, Appanoose County. Officers were dispatched shortly before 4:00 p.m. to investigate a reported domestic assault. Two Centerville police officers and an Appanoose County deputy responded and, during the interaction, at least one officer fired their weapon, striking Arbogast. No officers were injured.

The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation was asked to lead the inquiry. Investigators reviewed body-worn camera footage and other evidence, and the State Medical Examiner’s Office was to perform an autopsy to establish cause and manner of death. The involved officers were placed on critical incident leave and their identities were not released. No other suspects were reported in connection with the domestic assault call.

Are there witnesses or additional details about the moments before officers arrived that could clarify what happened?
