WEST DES MOINES, Iowa — A jury has acquitted a man of murder in the death of a West Des Moines woman but convicted him of assault in the case, according to court documents.
West Des Moines police responded to reports of a woman falling from a third-story apartment balcony at Sun Prairie Apartments on Vista Drive on Feb. 12, according to a release.
The victim, identified as 23-year-old Trisha Kunze of West Des Moines, was transported to a hospital where she later died.
Nathen Cameron was arrested and charged with murder in April after police determined Kunze's death to be an "intentional act."
A jury convicted Cameron on lesser charges:
- Assault Causing Serious Injury
- Domestic Abuse Causing Bodily Injury
Cameron will be sentenced on Friday, Dec. 16.
