A confrontation in Camanche, Iowa, on February 1, 2017, resulted in the death of 22-year-old Nicholas Luskey of Fulton, Illinois. Police were called about gunfire at about 9:30 a.m. in the 610 block of 5th Avenue and found Luskey near a vehicle with a gunshot wound to his mid-torso. He was taken to Mercy Medical Center and later transferred to the University of Iowa Hospital in Iowa City, where he was pronounced dead at 2:44 p.m.

Investigators say the conflict involved a past relationship: Luskey had been monitoring the home of a woman he previously dated and blocked a car carrying the woman and 25-year-old Derick Carroll of Clinton, Iowa. Luskey reportedly pulled Carroll from the vehicle and during a struggle gained hold of the barrel of a handgun Carroll was legally carrying. Carroll fired, saying he feared both he and the woman would be killed. The Clinton County Attorney announced in April 2017 that no charges would be filed, finding Carroll acted in self-defense. Authorities said all parties were detained at the scene and the incident appeared isolated.

Did anyone in the area witness the vehicle being blocked or the struggle that followed?
