A second suspect has been arrested on Riot charges stemming from a July incident outside an Iowa City convenience store.

Iowa City Police say just after 4:15am on July 24th four or five subjects were waiting for two victims to pull up to the L&M Mighty Shop on East Burlington Street. When the victims arrived, the suspects assaulted and robbed the pair. A firearm was reported stolen, and the suspects allegedly tried to steal a purse by punching one victim in the head.

The entire incident was caught on security video. One suspect, 24-year-old Arturio Henderson of Western Road, was arrested earlier this month. Iowa City Police say a second suspect, identified as 26-year-old transient Ki’Won Clay, was booked into the Johnson County Jail at 1:15 Saturday morning. Both suspects are charged with Rioting. If convicted, Henderson and Clay each face a maximum of five years in prison.

Henderson is also awaiting trial on numerous felony weapons charges from a separate incident in August.
