Roger Alan Wiseman Jr., 25, was found in the street in Ottumwa, Iowa, with multiple gunshot wounds on January 4, 2015. He was taken to Ottumwa Regional Health Center, where he died from his injuries. Investigators tied the killing to a dispute over ownership of a dog between Wiseman and 24-year-old Dustin William McDanel; reports say Wiseman was unarmed when he was shot and that McDanel sent a message beforehand claiming he had found his dog and was going to shoot someone.

McDanel fled after the shooting and was located hiding under a bed in a Richmond Heights, Missouri, home on January 23, 2015. He had previously escaped from a halfway house in Ottumwa in October 2014 while serving a sentence for marijuana charges. McDanel was charged with first-degree murder; he later pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter as a habitual offender, flight to avoid prosecution as a habitual offender, and felon in possession of a firearm as a habitual offender, and received a 70-year sentence with a mandatory minimum of 26 1/2 years.

Did anyone in Ottumwa know Wiseman or have information about the dispute over the dog that could shed light on how the confrontation began?
