On the afternoon of August 24, 2021, 20-year-old Dayton L. Sanders, a Black male, was fatally shot in Waterloo, Iowa. The shooting occurred just after 4:30 p.m. in the 1100 block of Washington Street, a stretch that also carries U.S. Highway 218. Sanders was shot outside the Kwik Stop 3 convenience store; he managed to cross the street and collapsed in the highway median before emergency responders transported him to a hospital, where he died a short time later.

The shooting closed the southbound lanes of the highway during evening rush hour and was counted as Waterloo’s fourth homicide of the year. The investigation resulted in arrests: a teenager was initially detained in connection with the killing, and police later made a second arrest. The identities of those arrested and the specific charges were part of the ongoing legal process.

Does anyone have information about what happened near the Kwik Stop 3 that afternoon or knew Dayton Sanders?
