On June 16, 2020, a gathering in the 900 block of 10th Avenue Southwest in Fort Dodge, Iowa, turned deadly. A celebration for a recently deceased person had become tense after an earlier dispute involving a man named Isiah Mosley. Just before 5 a.m., gunfire erupted and a volley of bullets sent people running. Twenty-five-year-old Jamael Cox was struck and found lying in the street; he died at the scene. Forty-seven-year-old Tyrone Cunningham was also killed and two women were wounded.

The investigation spanned several jurisdictions and continued for months. In November 2020 authorities arrested five men and charged them with two counts of second-degree murder; several faced additional firearms-related charges. One defendant, Michael J. Shivers, was later tried; testimony said he fired the first shot with a Bushmaster rifle and that others then began shooting. A jury returned guilty verdicts for Shivers on two counts of second-degree murder in October 2021.

Did anyone at the scene know Jamael or have information about what led to the outbreak of gunfire?
