James David Doyle was 16 and from Indianola, Iowa, when he died of a single shotgun wound to his upper torso on June 27, 2010. A student at Indianola High School who enjoyed woodshop, weight lifting and NASCAR, James was at the home of a 14-year-old friend, Daniel Nadler, when an argument about religion escalated and ended with Doyle being shot.

Indianola Police Chief Steve Bonnett said the shooting was not accidental and that angry words had been exchanged after the boys had been up all night handling the gun. Daniel Nadler was initially charged with first-degree murder; a judge later ruled he would not be tried as an adult and the charge was reduced to second-degree murder. In October 2010 Nadler pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and was to be incarcerated until he turned 18, an outcome James’s family said left them feeling justice had not been served.

If anyone knew James, his routines, or has information about that night in Indianola, please share what you remember.
