3-year-old Coralville boy dies in shooting, Iowa investigators say
Editor's Note: A news release from the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation misspelled Damari Sanders' first name. The child's first name has been corrected in this story.
The shooting death of a 3-year-old Coralville child was under investigation Monday by Coralville police and the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation.
The DCI said in a news release that Damari Sanders was reported shot in an apartment in the 900 block of Boston Way in Coralville at 12:19 p.m. Sunday.
Emergency personnel took the boy to the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, where he died at 6:56 p.m., the release said.
It provided no details about what investigators believe led to the shooting or whether any charges had been filed.
“We are working with law enforcement agencies and the attorney's office there in Johnson County to try to make sense of things as best we can," said DCI Special Agent Ryan Kedley. "And hopefully within the coming days, there'll be further updates that we can pass them on to the public.”
