Cedar Rapids Police have identified the two wanted suspects they arrested Thursday evening after executing a search warrant.
In a release from the city, officers observed two individuals with outstanding warrants at a residence in the 800 block of Camburn Court Southeast at around 7:30pm. They learned that the suspects were believed to be in possession of firearms. The Police Community Action Team and other specialized police groups were able to obtain a search warrant for the residence, and successfully took both wanted individuals into custody without incident at 10:15pm that night.
The two have been identified as 18-year-old Keshaun Round, and 19-year-old Cordal Lewis.
Round had warrants for Failure to Appear for Assault Causing Bodily Injury, Revocation of Pretrial Release on the original charges of Possession of a Controlled Substance and Interference with Official Acts, Failure to Appear for Possession of Marijuana and Interference with Official Acts, and Revocation of Pretrial Release on the original charges of 2nd degree Criminal Mischief and Marijuana Possession.
Round was also charged with Trafficking in Stolen Weapons and Carrying Weapons based on a previous case on September 16th of this year. In that incident, officers conducted a traffic stop involving Round, and a .40 caliber handgun was recovered from the vehicle. Investigators determined that the handgun was stolen from a burglary on the west side of Cedar Rapids earlier that month. Their investigation also determined that Round had the gun in his possession at his residence and in the back yard prior to getting into the vehicle that was stopped on the 16th.
As for Lewis, he had a warrant for Willful Injury Causing Bodily Injury. Through the investigation of the recovered firearms, Lewis was also arrested for Trafficking in Stolen Weapons for being in possession of a stolen handgun.
The handgun officers recovered when arresting Round and Lewis was a 9 millimeter pistol that reportedly had been stolen out of a pickup truck in the 2800 block of Schaeffer Drive Southwest on October 9th. One of the recovered shotguns was reported stolen 40 years ago.
The investigation is ongoing.
