Cedar Rapids Police have announced that US Marshals have arrested a second person in connection with the Taboo Nightclub and Lounge shootings on April 10th.
29-year-old Dimione Jamal Walker was arrested by the US Marshals Service in Matteson Illinois Monday morning.
The day after the shooting, which killed two and injured ten others, Cedar Rapids police reached out to the Northern Iowa Fugitive Task Force asking for help in apprehending Walker. It was determined that the suspect fled the state, so the Task Force worked with the US Marshals service. They learned that Walker was likely in the Chicagoland area, and the Great Lakes Regional Task Force arrested Walker as he was leaving a building in Matteson around 10am Monday.
The Linn County Sheriff’s Office is working to get Walker returned to Iowa to face the charges. He was also wanted in Illinois on separate charges.
The Cedar Rapids Gazette reports that Walker has a criminal history in Johnson County that involved some jail time. The most recent case was in 2017, when he reportedly got into a fight with a woman, and when she got into her car to leave, he blocked her path and pointed a gun at her. The woman hit him with her car as she drove away. Walker was sentenced to five years in prison, was released in 2019 and was on work release at the time of his arrest on Monday. He faces charges in Linn County of first-degree murder, intimidation with a dangerous weapon, going armed with intent and felon in possession of a firearm.
The other suspect, 32-year-old Timothy Rush, was arrested the day after the incident.
