Weapons charges have been dismissed against a suspect in a shooting at the Town & Campus apartments last year.
22-year-old Denzel Wilson of Marion had been charged with Dominion or Control of a Firearm as a Felon. According to arrest records, Wilson was part of a large altercation at the Arthur Street complex just before 11:30pm on July 22nd. Police say Wilson pulled out a firearm and fired into the crowd, striking a woman in the process. Video evidence and witness accounts indicate Wilson was the only person seen firing a gun.
The victim was transported by ambulance to the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics with non-life-threatening injuries. Police say she refused to cooperate with the investigation.
The charges against Wilson were dropped on Thursday. No explanation was given in online records.
Wilson was given a suspended sentence on a similar weapons charge in Linn County last month.
