Police say 25-year-old Jeremiah Martinez Brown died in the shooting. An arrest was made one day later.

DAVENPORT, Iowa — One person is dead after a shooting in Davenport Sunday, September 5.

Officers responded to the 2200 block of North Nevada Ave. and Lombard St. near North Gayman Park for a call of shots fired around 1:00 p.m..

Police said they arrived to find Jeremiah Martinez-Brown with a gunshot wound. The 25-year-old was taken to a local hospital where he later died from his injuries.

The next day Demarco Gray was charged with first-degree murder in connection with the shooting.  Online jail records show that he was booked into the Scott County Jail where he was held on a $1 million bond.

The Davenport Police Department also said Gray, 27, has a previous felony conviction which prevents him from legally possessing a firearm. The previous felony conviction occurred in Rock Island County on December 27, 2013.
