West Des Moines man charged for fatal ****** in Hy-Vee parking lot

A West Des Moines man was charged with involuntary manslaughter for a ****** in a Hy-Vee parking lot that left a 67-year-old woman *****.

At around 2:47 p.m. on Oct. 21, Des Moines Police Department patrol officers and Des Moines ***** Department rescue personnel responded to the parking lot at Hy-Vee at 2540 E. Euclid Ave. to investigate a report of a ****** with injury, Sgt. Paul Parizek said in a news release.

Sheila Kay Albert, 67, of Des Moines, was found in critical condition after being struck by a vehicle, Parizek said. She was transported to UnityPoint-Methodist Medical Center, where she remained hospitalized until her ****** on Oct. 25, he said.

This was the 15th traffic-related fatality of 2024 and the fourth involving a pedestrian, Parizek said.

The department’s traffic unit completed their investigation and presented their findings to the Polk County Attorney’s Office for review and charging guidance, Parizek said.

Evidence showed that the ****** could have been avoided, Parizek said.

Jordan Allen, 35, of West Des Moines was subsequently arrested and charged with involuntary manslaughter, an aggravated misdemeanor, Parizek said.
