Kyonta Lavon Taylor, 25, was arrested and charged with voluntary manslaughter and felon in possession of a firearm.

Evidence, including security surveillance video, showed that several people were in a Amoco gas station parking lot at 1443 Second Ave. for an after hours gathering on Sunday morning, Parizek said. Several arguments broke out at the gathering.

The victim was seen intervening in one of the arguments after it escalated into a physical ******.

The victim had struck Taylor and knocked him to the ground, Parizek said. Evidence showed Taylor responded by pulling out a **** and ********* the victim.

Taylor was booked in the Polk County Jail around 5 p.m. Monday. No bond is listed.

The ********* is still under investigation and more information will be released as it becomes available.

The ********* was the second in Des Moines on Sunday. Two people ***** in an unrelated argument near Court Avenue and Water Street earlier that morning.

On Monday, two police officers were injured and a suspect ******* after a police chase. The suspect fired at the officers, one of whom was shot in the head. Both are expected to survive.
